SHENZHEN Meteorological Observatory warned yesterday that the city might expect rainy and windy conditions today and tomorrow, as Typhoon Koinu continues to influence the region.

The typhoon has already brought maximum wind gusts ranging from levels 8 to 10 to the city.

Typhoon Koinu, the 14th typhoon this year, was still moving slowly westward toward western Guangdong and Hainan Province at a speed of 5 to 10 kilometers per hour at press time yesterday. Its intensity is expected to gradually weaken.

Due to the typhoon’s slow movement, coupled with cold fronts, the city can anticipate persistent rainfall with gentle showers and significant cumulative precipitation, according to the observatory.

The weather is expected to clear up with a mix of clouds and sunshine Wednesday, according to the latest weather forecast.
