Typhoon Noul Triggers Flash Flood Alerts Across China
- Typhoon Noul made landfall along the coast of Huidong county in Huizhou, Guangdong, on Sunday, unleashing torrential rain and strong winds that inundated streets and disrupted transportation across the coastal region.

- More than 340,000 people in Guangdong had been relocated for safety by Saturday afternoon, according to CCTV, while train services were canceled for Sunday and Hong Kong reported more than 150 flight cancellations.
- The National Meteorological Center issued its highest flash-flood alert, with heightened risks identified across Jiangxi, Hunan, Sichuan, Shaanxi, Gansu, and Xinjiang as torrential rains persist.
- Authorities have closed tourist sites, including the UNESCO World Heritage site Jiuzhaigou, as recent fatal landslides emphasize the severe impact of the peak summer rainy season in mountainous regions.
