Typhoon Kajiki, the 13th of the year, intensified as it struck Hainan's coastal city of Sanya on Sunday, bringing heavy rain, powerful winds, and heightened risks of flash floods and geological disasters. Authorities have activated emergency measures to ensure safety and prevent damage.
Typhoon Kajiki, the 13th of the year, brought intense rainfall and strong winds to Sanya, a coastal city in southern China’s Hainan Province, as it moved westwards on Sunday, August 24, 2025. The typhoon intensified into a strong storm by 14:00, with wind speeds near the center reaching up to 45 meters per second by 15:00, according to Hainan's meteorological authorities.
By 17:00, the typhoon’s center was located about 90 kilometers southeast of Sanya, and it was expected to continue moving northwest at a speed of 20 kilometers per hour, with further intensification anticipated. The storm was projected to pass near the waters from Sanya to Ledong later in the evening.
As Kajiki brought heavy rain to the region, there were increased risks of waterlogging, flash floods, and geological hazards. In response, Hainan Province activated emergency measures to strengthen flood prevention and preparedness efforts.
Liu Gong, director of publicity and training at the Department of Emergency Management in Hainan, stated, "The typhoon is moving quickly and may accelerate as it nears the shore. Our main focus is on ensuring the safety of fishing vessels and harbors, as well as enhancing flood and wind prevention in southeastern cities and counties. Marine tourism activities, especially those on islands and reefs, have been suspended, and tourists are advised to avoid sea-based activities."
Authorities also urged residents in vulnerable areas, including those in poorly constructed homes, low-lying zones, and regions prone to flash floods and geological disasters, to stay alert and relocate to safer areas if necessary. The government continues to closely monitor the situation to ensure the safety of residents and visitors.
