Storms drenched southern parts of the Chinese mainland on Monday, triggering warnings of flash floods and landslides, a day after Typhoon Wipha pounded Hong Kong.

The tropical cyclone made landfall in mainland China late Sunday afternoon with winds near to those of a Category 1 Atlantic hurricane.

Typhoon Wipha impacted southern China, causing significant rain and wind damage. Following landfall, it weakened to a tropical storm but continued causing disruptions in Guangdong and nearby regions.
