On October 24, the Guangdong Provincial Early Warning Center issued a reminder regarding Typhoon “Tammy.”

According to the Guangdong Provincial Emergency Management Department, along with the Department of Culture and Tourism and the Meteorological Bureau, the 20th typhoon of the year, “Tammy,” is expected to traverse the central region of the South China Sea from the night of the 24th until the 27th, potentially reaching typhoon strength. The combination of cold air and “Tammy’s” outer circulation will result in strong winds across Guangdong’s coastal waters, the Qiongzhou Strait, the Beibu Gulf, the Taiwan Strait, and the central and northern parts of the South China Sea from the night of the 24th through the 27th, with sustained durations. Mariners are advised to stay alert for strong winds, and those working on the water should prioritize safety. Local authorities are urged to close coastal tourist areas, halt maritime routes, cease high-altitude and water-related activities as needed, and warn travel agencies against organizing tours to typhoon-affected regions.

The Guangdong Meteorological Bureau noted that as of 5 PM on the 24th, Typhoon “Tammy” (classified as a tropical storm) was located just west of Luzon Island in the Philippines, with maximum wind speeds of 23 meters per second (about 9 on the Beaufort scale) and a minimum central pressure of 990 hPa. The area affected by severe winds has a radius of approximately 400 kilometers. As of 9:25 PM on the same day, 21 typhoon warning signals had already been issued in Guangdong Province.
