Latest satellite image shows the clouds associated with Kalmaegi are now moving towards Guangdong Province in Southern China. The system has intensified over the past 24 hours but is finally interacting with land which should halt any further development. Nevertheless, Kalmaegi is still very powerful and is already bringing winds of up to 160kph as reported by numerous weather stations in Guangdong.
