China News Service, September 5. According to the website of the Central Meteorological Observatory, the Central Meteorological Observatory will continue to issue typhoon blue warnings at 18:00 on September 5:

The center of this year's No. 24 typhoon "Korowan" (tropical storm level) was located on the ocean about 25 kilometers south of Naha City in the Ryukyu Islands at 5 o'clock today (05th), at 26.0 degrees north latitude and 127.7 degrees east longitude. The maximum wind force near the center was level 8 (20 meters/second), the lowest air pressure at the center was 995 hPa, and the radius of the level 7 wind circle was 200-350 kilometers.

It is expected that "Korowan" will move southeast at a speed of 10-15 kilometers per hour, with little change in intensity.

Strong wind forecast: From 20:00 on the 5th to 20:00 on the 6th, there will be winds of magnitude 6-7 and gusts of magnitude 8-9 in the southeastern Yellow Sea, most of the East China Sea and the waters near the Diaoyu Islands, the ocean east of Taiwan, the Bashi Strait, the Yangtze River Estuary, and the coast of Zhejiang. Among them, some parts of the southern East China Sea have winds of magnitude 8 and gusts of magnitude 9-10.

Defense Guide:

1. The government and relevant departments shall carry out typhoon prevention and emergency response work in accordance with their duties.

2. Water operations in relevant waters and passing ships should return to the port to take shelter, and port facilities should be reinforced to prevent ships from anchoring, stranding, and collisions; marine ranches should reinforce facilities while ensuring safety and collect them in advance.

3. Stop large outdoor gatherings and dangerous outdoor operations such as high altitude operations.

4. Reinforce or dismantle structures that are easily blown by the wind. People should not go out at will. They should stay in a windproof and safe place as much as possible. Ensure that the elderly and children stay in the safest place at home, and move people in dangerous buildings in a timely manner. When the center of a typhoon passes, the wind will decrease or remain stationary for a period of time. Remember that strong winds will blow suddenly and you should continue to stay in a safe place to take shelter.

5. Relevant areas should pay attention to preventing flash floods and geological disasters that may be caused by heavy precipitation.
