Typhoon Podul slammed into Taiwan’s Taitung County on Wednesday, forcing school and government office closures across nine cities, including Kaohsiung and Tainan. Moving at 36 km/h toward the Taiwan Strait and China, the storm triggered over 380 flight cancellations and the evacuation of more than 5,500 residents from vulnerable areas. Authorities warned of up to 600 mm of rainfall in mountain regions, risking floods and landslides. Hong Kong issued a Signal One warning, while China’s Fujian Province braces for Podul’s impact later this week.

A ferocious rainstorm has brought Hong Kong to a near standstill, prompting the city to issue its highest “black” rainstorm warning. Torrential downpours turned iconic staircases into waterfalls and forced the closure of schools, courts, clinics, and portions of hospitals. Over 10,000 lightning strikes were recorded in just one hour as up to 90mm of rain per hour soaked the city and its surrounding tech hubs in Guangdong.
The airport remained open, but delays plagued flights, and travelers were urged to confirm schedules before leaving home. Macau issued a Red rain alert while Guangdong faced rising riverbanks and deadly flash floods. With four rivers at risk of overflowing and massive infrastructure like the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge impacted, regional chaos threatens to intensify. Experts link the escalating deluge to climate change. Amid the chaos, Hong Kong Disneyland surprisingly remained open, continuing its scheduled “Friendtastic! Parade.”
