China: Eastern coastal areas: Anticipate disruption, maintain flexible itineraries during passage of Super Typhoon Lekim

Members travelling to eastern coastal areas, including Zhejiang province and Shanghai, in the coming days should maintain flexible itineraries due to the passage of Super Typhoon Lekima. Disruption arising from heavy rain and strong winds is likely. The weather system is forecast to make landfall close to Wenzhou (Zhejiang) early on 10 August and then move northwards towards Shanghai. The China Meteorological Administration (CMA) has issued an orange typhoon alert (the second-highest level on a four-tier scale). Airports in the region, such as Wenzhou Longwan (WNZ), Ningbo Lishe (NGB, both Zhejiang) and Shanghai Pudong (PVG) airports, are likely to be affected.
