Typhoon Khanun expected to miss Shanghai
This year's sixth typhoon, Khanun, will miss Shanghai with no strong winds and rains over the next two to three days, according to local meteorological authorities.
Khanun's moving path has kept changing, and it entered the East China Sea area this morning.
The latest predicted path of the storm shows that it will move away from the sea to the northeast from Saturday, but before that, it will twirl around over the sea with a slowing speed.
Khanun was 610 kilometers southeast of Yuhuan City, Zhejiang Province, at 11am this morning, with a wind force of up to 187 kilometers per hour.
The typhoon is predicted to keep approaching the coastal areas of Zhejiang and Fujian provinces at a speed of 10-15 kph, with its intensity increasing.
