Super typhoon Yagi reached winds of up to 245 km/h, causing significant disruptions in Hong Kong, including flight cancellations, school closures, and fallen trees.
Authorities maintained a high alert during Yagi, but as winds subsided, the airport and businesses began to return to normal operations.
From 1949 to 2023, only nine of the 106 typhoons impacting China's southern coast were classified as super typhoons, indicating the severity of Yagi.
Scientists highlight that climate change is resulting in warmer oceans, which are contributing to the increasing frequency and intensity of typhoons in the region.
