Tropical cyclone forecast to make landfall on Australia’s northeast coast soon
A tropical cyclone off northeast Australia has a high probability of making landfall on a highly-populated stretch of coast, according to forecasts.
Another tropical cyclone is expected to make landfall in or have a major impact on China in late September, bringing gales and heavy rains to the country’s southern and southeastern regions, an official said on Tuesday.
Local authorities should take precautions to reduce the repercussions on people’s lives, said Jia Xiaolong, deputy director of the National Climate Centre.
