Typhoon Maysak

Typhoon Maysak made its first landfall near Lingshui on China's Hainan Island on July 3, 2026, bringing strong winds and torrential rain that suspended ferry and rail services across the island. The storm crossed back over water and made a second, final landfall in Móng Cái, Quảng Ninh province, Vietnam, on July 4, before curving back into Guangxi, China, as it weakened into a tropical depression.

In Guangxi's Fangcheng district, torrential rains flooded villages with water levels reaching roughly 1.1 meters, stranding residents in their homes; elsewhere in the region, houses collapsed and rural roads, drinking water systems, and electricity infrastructure sustained damage. Nanning, the Guangxi regional capital, raised its flood control emergency response to the highest level (Level I) after a reservoir breach warning as rivers and reservoirs swelled from extremely heavy rain. Guangdong province evacuated a total of 23,296 people, including 10,717 offshore workers and 12,579 residents on land, as a precaution.

In Vietnam's Quảng Ninh province, the storm tore roofs off roughly 30 houses, damaged about 600 hectares of aquaculture farms, toppled 850 trees, and damaged public infrastructure and vehicles. Chinese and Vietnamese civil defense authorities continue flood-control and relief operations as rivers in Guangxi remain swollen.
