China braces for typhoon In-Fa after deadly floods wrecked havoc in parts of country

According to details, Typhoon In-Fa is going to hit the city of Zhoushan at 12:30 local time (04:30 GMT).

In order to mitigate the consequences of typhoon, all flights and train services have been suspended in the city, while authorities have instructed people to stay indoors.

The weather department have predicted strong winds, rough seas and flooding in the typhoon-hit areas. Meanwhile, several ships have been evacuated from a busy port south of Shanghai.

Typhoon In-Fa is expected to bring more torrential downpours to the stricken region in the coming days which officials think could affect the rescue and relief operation in flood-stricken areas.

The typhoon reportedly has wind speeds of up to 137 km/h (85mph). In Shanghai, China's biggest city, several public parks and museums have been closed.

Although there are several factors contributing to natural disaster, but scientists say that climate change caused by a global warming makes these events more likely.
