Zhejiang: Typhoon Co-May, the eighth typhoon to affect China this year, reintensified into a typhoon Sunday night, after briefly weakening into a low-pressure system, as it approaches east China's Zhejiang Province. The provincial flood control and drought relief headquarters announced Monday that the region is preparing for the storm's impact.

According to Namibia Press Agency, Zhejiang Province has initiated a Level IV emergency response due to the typhoon, which was located approximately 700 km southeast of Zhoushan city on Monday morning. The storm is currently packing winds of up to 18 meters per second. It is anticipated to move northwest at a speed of 15 to 20 km per hour, advancing towards the eastern part of the East China Sea and nearing Zhejiang's coastal areas, while gradually increasing in strength.

The typhoon is predicted to bring significant rainfall to Zhejiang's coastal and northern regions over the next three days, with the most intense rain expected from Monday night through Wednesday. Meteorological experts have issued warnings that Co-May's effects could exacerbate conditions in areas previously impacted by rain in northern Zhejiang, increasing the risk of landslides, flash floods in small river basins, and urban and rural waterlogging.
