The typhoon swept through Japan's southern Okinawa prefecture over the weekend, injuring six people and cutting power to more than 50,000 buildings. Torrential rain is forecast for Monday across Zhejiang, Shanghai, northern Fujian. Parts of central and eastern Zhejiang could receive 250-500 mm (10-20 inches) of rain.
The storm made landfall near Yuhuan in Zhejiang province at about 5:30 pm (0930 GMT), according to China's meteorological authorities. Authorities had moved offshore workers to safety, ordered vessels back to port and increased checks at reservoirs, mountain streams, landslide-prone areas.
The typhoon is forecast to track westward before slowing over central and southwestern China and gradually losing strength. That could prolong heavy rain and increase the risk of flooding and landslides, especially in mountainous areas and along smaller rivers. Transport was widely disrupted across the east of the country.
