Four tropical cyclones active in Northwest Pacific and South China Sea
A rare meteorological phenomenon involving four simultaneous tropical cyclones is occurring across the Northwest Pacific and the South China Sea. The systems include Super Typhoon Saudel, Tropical Storm Narra in the Beibu Gulf, Tropical Depression Gaenari near the Taiwan Strait, and Tropical Depression Atsani near Yap Island.
Super Typhoon Saudel, characterized by a 1,000-kilometer diameter and clear eye structure, is tracking west-northwest toward the eastern coast of China, with potential impacts on Fujian or Zhejiang provinces. Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Narra and Tropical Storm Zitan are influencing weather in South China. Zitan's presence in the Beibu Gulf has already contributed to severe flooding in Guangxi, where at least 13 rivers have exceeded warning levels, prompting the dispatch of 20,000 disaster relief items.
Regional authorities in Hong Kong, Macau, and Guangdong are monitoring the situation closely. Forecasts indicate increased thunderstorms and heavy rain for the Guangdong coast and Macau through the middle of the week. Residents are advised to prepare for potential secondary disasters such as landslides and urban flooding due to the cumulative effects of these multiple weather systems.
