Typhoon Fengshen, the sixth to hit China this year, is likely to slam into the mainland on Wednesday, Xinhua quoted the State Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters as saying today. Fengshen was expected to make landfall near the southern coast of Fujian Province and the eastern coast of Guangdong Province, or move northeast to traverse the Taiwan Straits, said the headquarters. As of 10 a.m. on Tuesday, Fengshen was 380 km at sea southwest of Guangdong, with winds of 28 meters per second at its eye, according to the National Meteorological Center (NMC). It was moving north at 15-20 km per hour, said the NMC. Fengshen was expected to bring gales and torrential rain to eastern Guangdong, southern Fujian and the southern and western regions of Taiwan, the NMC said.
