Hagibis made landfall as a Tropical Storm last night and moved near the city of Shantou. Wind gusts of up to 100kph were reported in some areas, as well as rainfall accumulations of around 50mm. Latest radar image is still showing bands of moderate rain impacting the region. We expect additional 50mm to be reported throughout the day today.
