Authorities in the Philippines have evacuated over 150,000 people due to typhoon Kalmaegi, issuing warnings of torrential rains, winds, and waves up to three meters high. The storm is expected to hit the coast on Monday evening or Tuesday morning, with wind speeds reaching 140 km/h and gusts of 170 km/h. Residents in temporary shelters are being relocated to more durable facilities, while volcanic activity on Negros Island has prompted alerts about potential mudslides from heavy rains near the Kanlaon volcano.
Additional disruptions were reported in southern China, where Super Typhoon Ragasa caused widespread closures of businesses and universities, though tourism remained unaffected. In Spain, intense storms impacted the Costa Blanca region, leading to flight cancellations and traffic chaos around Alicante Airport.
