The storm, which is the strongest to make landfall in China so far this year, caused significant disruptions. Over 350 flights were canceled at Hong Kong International Airport, and train services across Guangdong province were suspended. The National Meteorological Centre forecasted heavy to torrential rains across much of southern China for two days.
Hong Kong's Observatory reported that Noul had maximum sustained winds of 110 km/h near its center as it moved inland and weakened progressively. At least nine people were injured across the city during the typhoon period, according to authorities. The storm is expected to bring strong winds and heavy rain to nearby provinces such as Jiangxi and Hunan until Tuesday.
As Noul approached Hong Kong, parts of a large scaffolding on a high-rise building collapsed on Saturday afternoon, though initial reports indicated there were no injuries. Taiwan's Central Weather Administration noted that the typhoon was bringing rainfall to parts of southern and eastern Taiwan but moving away from the island by Saturday.
The remnants of Typhoon Noul pushed deeper into China on Tuesday, threatening heavy flooding across a broad swathe of the country's southern and central provinces. Forecasters warned that the weakened storm could linger inland longer than usual, bringing torrential rain through Thursday in Fujian, Guangdong, Jiangxi, Hunan, Hubei, Henan, and Guangxi.
State media warned that the storm's northward-bound path across mountainous terrain raises the risk of floods, landslides, and other disasters. Authorities are bracing for overlapping typhoon and flood-season risks, with emergency and housing officials ordering stronger flood-control measures, inspections of critical infrastructure, and the pre-deployment of rescue teams and equipment in vulnerable areas.
