Shenzhen rail and air services cancelled as southern China braces for Typhoon Noul The third typhoon to hit the country this month is expected to make landfall overnight bringing heavy rains and strong winds The National Meteorological Centre issued an orange typhoon alert – the second highest level in a four-tier system – on Saturday morning as it moved northwest across the South China Sea at a speed of 20km/h (12mph). It was expected to land somewhere between Hong Kong and Huilai county in eastern Guangdong overnight with wind speeds of up to 151km/h and then move north. Strong winds and heavy rain have been forecast for parts of Guangdong, Fujian and Taiwan, and the meteorological centre warned that boats should be docked and large gatherings cancelled, while urging residents to stay indoors as far as possible. Rail operators have started cancelling services in Guangdong and all trains will be halted by Sunday, the authorities said. Meanwhile, the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge remained open to traffic on Saturday morning but tours of the structure were halted for two days.
