The approach of Typhoon Ragasa has prompted emergency response measures in south China's Guangdong and Hainan Provinces, as well as in east China's Fujian Province. Ragasa -- the 18th named storm of the 2025 Pacific typhoon season -- intensified into a super typhoon on Sunday and is forecast to make landfall between Huizhou in Guangdong and Wenchang in Hainan on Wednesday. Impacted by the storm, the northeastern area of the South China Sea and the coastal areas of southern China will be battered by strong winds and heavy rains from Tuesday through Friday. Wide areas of Guangdong, coast land of Fujian and Hainan can expect torrential downpours, with some locations likely to see severe or extremely severe rainstorms. Maritime departments in Guangdong, Hainan and Fujian have taken precautions to ensure safety. The maritime authorities in Guangdong raised its emergency response to Level-I, the highest level in China's four-tier warning system, at 14:00 Monday. Local maritime patrol officers in Guangdong conducted inspection on docks, shipyards and anchorage grounds on Monday morning. More than 10,000 ships have been transferred to safe waters for shelter. Later, the authorities will continue tracking the path of Typhoon Ragasa, and the dynamic conditions on the sea. Fujian maritime department has activated a Level-II emergency response, with its focus on the waters off Zhangzhou, Xiamen, Quanzhou and Putian. Ships in other nearby waters should also take shelter in a coordinated way. A Level-II emergency response was also activated by Hainan.
