SHANGHAI - China's first typhoon of the year brought gales and rain to its southern shores on Saturday , as forecasters warned of record rainfall and high disaster risk in provinces including Guangdong, the country's most populous.
Chaba, though medium in intensity and expected to lose strength over time, is likely to bring extremely heavy rains and may break the record for cumulative rainfall as it pulls the monsoon rain belt in the region inland, said Mr Gao Shuanzhu, the centre's chief forecaster. At risk are the west of Guangdong, where China's typhoons usually linger, the east of Guangxi autonomous region and the island province of Hainan, with rainstorms causing landslides, urban waterlogging and floods, he said.
In Macau, one person was injured due to the wind and rain on Chaba's approach, state televisions reported.
