Safety alerts were issued for residents and tourists who flock to the region's beaches during the summer, urging them to stay in safe places away from possible floods or landslides.
In a sign of the typhoon's power and range, residents outside the city of Fuzhou in Fujian province to the north were trapped in high waters as heavy rain fell, CCTV reported. About 1,000 villagers were affected and more than 50 needed to be evacuated, it said. The Hong Kong Observatory raised a No. 8 typhoon signal, the third-highest warning under the city's weather system, early Monday. It was the first warning of its kind issued this year.
China's National Meteorological Administration forecast the typhoon would make landfall in neighbouring Guangdong province and Hainan province on Monday night before entering the Gulf of Tonkin and striking land again in the Guangxi region on Tuesday. Talim is expected to weaken on Wednesday in Vietnam, it said.
