Chinese financial magazine Caixin reported that Muifa was the strongest typhoon in the Yangtze River Delta in a decade, which meteorologists said was caused by this year’s unusually hot weather and high temperatures in the East China Sea.
Zhejiang authorities issued a “red warning” for flash floods in several areas, the highest warning level in China’s four-tier typhoon warning system.
The national weather forecaster said there was a high risk of flooding of small and medium-sized rivers in parts of Zhejiang.
