HONG KONG: Typhoon Noul made landfall early on Sunday (Jul 26) in southern China, bringing heavy rain and gale-force winds across Guangdong province and neighbouring Hong Kong, prompting the cancellation of flights at Hong Kong's international airport. It has forced the relocation of more than 340,000 people in Guangdong province, authorities said on Saturday. Guangdong suspended some train services Saturday morning, with all train services in the province halted on Sunday, CCTV said. The centre of the typhoon crossed over land at around 3.50am near the town of Pinghai, Guangdong Province - about 80 kilometres northeast of financial hub Hong Kong - CCTV reported. That made Noul the strongest typhoon to strike the country so far in 2026, CCTV added.
