China's National Meteorological Center on Tuesday morning issued a blue alert for Typhoon Gaemi, which is expected to bring strong wind and heavy rain to the country's southern regions.
China has a four-tier color-coded weather warning system, with red representing the most severe weather, followed by orange, yellow and blue.
Typhoon Gaemi, the third typhoon of this year, was located 710 kilometers southeast of Yilan County in China's Taiwan region at 5 a.m. on Tuesday.
It is forecasted to travel northwestward at a speed of 20 kilometers per hour, with its strength likely to increase gradually.
Affected by the typhoon, parts of Taiwan and Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region are expected to see heavy rainstorms from Tuesday morning to Wednesday morning, with precipitation reaching between 50 millimeters and 70 millimeters, the center said.
Meanwhile, gales are forecasted to sweep parts of the East China Sea, the South China Sea, the Bashi Channel, the Taiwan Straits, the Beibu Gulf, as well as the coastal areas of Guangxi and Taiwan during the period, it said.
The center has urged local authorities to prepare emergency typhoon responses and remain on high alert for possible flooding and geological disasters.
