Hong Kong Lowers Storm Alert as Typhoon Wipha Moves West
(Bloomberg) -- Hong Kong lowered its storm alert from the highest level as tropical cyclone Wipha moved past the city, with Cathay Pacific Airways Ltd. set to resume some flights later on Sunday. The Hong Kong Observatory lowered the signal to No. 8 at 4:10 p.m. local time.

Wipha will likely make landfall along the coastal area in China's southern Guangdong province late Sunday, affecting the cities of Zhuhai and Zhanjiang, a local weather bureau said. Nearly 280,000 people in Guangdong had been relocated as of 9 p.m. Saturday, according to a state media report. Cathay Pacific said in a statement that departing flights would resume from approximately 6 p.m. Sunday. The airline had earlier delayed or canceled all flights scheduled to arrive at or depart from Hong Kong between 5 a.m. and 6 p.m. It added that further flight delays and cancellations may be required based on weather conditions and the typhoon's path. Airport Authority Hong Kong said on its website that operations are expected to be affected by the typhoon and that it has activated its emergency center.

The city's stock exchange ended its decades-old tradition of shutting during storms of signal No. 8 or above last year. The practice had became increasingly questioned during the pandemic, when widespread work-from-home setups showed little hindrance to trading. --With assistance from Emma Dong, Nguyen Dieu Tu Uyen and Karl Lester M.

Dozens of rescuers, including border guards, navy personnel, police and professional divers, have been deployed. Although the sea had calmed, weather conditions limited visibility, making rescue operations difficult. Live Events Rescuers managed to retrieve the sunken boat, the government said. The accident took place around 2 p.m. local time (0700 GMT) on Saturday, soon after Typhoon Wipha entered the South China Sea. Authorities reported strong winds, heavy rainfall and lightning in the area at the time of the incident, adding that these conditions were not yet influenced by the approaching typhoon but were due to wind patterns over the northern region. Halong Bay, about 200 km (125 miles) northeast of Hanoi, attracts tens of thousands of visitors every year. Boat tours are particularly popular. In 2011, the sinking of a tour boat in Halong Bay killed 12 people, including foreign tourists. Typhoon Wipha, the third to hit the South China Sea this year, is projected to make landfall along Vietnam's northern coast early next week.
