Guangdong raised its wind and hydrological monitoring emergency response from
Level III to Level II at 09:00 on July 25 as Typhoon "Hongxia" continues to
strengthen. Between July 25 and 28, parts of northern, central-eastern and
eastern coastal Guangdong are forecast to see river rises of 3–8 m. The main
stems of the Beijiang (North River), Dongjiang (East River) and Hanjiang (Han
River) will experience significant rises, and some medium-to-small rivers in
those basins and along the eastern Guangdong coast may suffer major flooding.
