Episode Details

As Super Typhoon Ragasa approaches, public transportation in Guangdong province — particularly train services — will be heavily disrupted starting on Tuesday, while most coastal cities in the province have suspended school, work, production and business operations.

随着超强台风“桦加沙”逼近，广东省公共交通（尤其是铁路运输）将于2日起遭遇严重影响，该省多数沿海城市已启动停课、停工、停产、停业措施。

Ragasa, the 18th typhoon of 2025, was upgraded to a super typhoon by China's National Meteorological Center on Sunday morning, with the maximum wind force near the center reaching above level 17.

“桦加沙”作为2025年第18号台风，中国气象局于周日上午将其升级为超强台风，台风中心附近最大风力达17级以上。

High-speed and regular trains within Guangdong will gradually be suspended from noon on Tuesday, with the range of suspensions adjusted systematically according to the storm's impact, China Railway Guangzhou Group said on Monday. All train services in the province will be suspended on Wednesday, it added. Services are expected to resume once the typhoon weakens, with schedules updated accordingly.

中国铁路广州局集团有限公司1日发布消息称，2日中午起，广东省内高铁及普速列车将逐步停运，停运范围将根据台风影响情况统筹调整；3日，该省所有列车运行将全面暂停。待台风强度减弱后，铁路部门将逐步恢复列车运营，并及时更新列车运行时刻。

The typhoon is forecast to make landfall along the coast from Huizhou in Guangdong to Wenchang in Hainan province between the early morning and afternoon on Wednesday. At that time, it is expected to be a strong typhoon or super typhoon, with winds of level 14 to 16, said Wang Haiping, chief forecaster at the National Meteorological Center.

中国气象局首席预报员王海平表示，预计“桦加沙”将于3日凌晨至下午时段，在广东惠州至海南文昌一带沿海登陆。登陆时，其强度预计为强台风或超强台风级别，风力可达14至16级。

"One of the main reasons for the high intensity of Typhoon Ragasa is that the ocean has been continuously heated throughout the summer, resulting in relatively high sea temperatures after autumn," Wang said. He added that typhoons in autumn often interact with cold air masses moving south, a process that lifts warm, moist air and can trigger extreme rainfall.

王海平指出：“台风‘桦加沙’强度偏高的主要原因之一，是整个夏季海洋持续升温，导致入秋后海温仍处于较高水平。”他补充道，秋季台风常与南下的冷空气相互作用，这一过程会抬升暖湿气流，可能引发极端强降雨。

"The strong typhoon will bring heavy to torrential rainfall in South China's coastal area," Wang said at a Monday news conference.
