The severe storm is expected to reach Shanghai sometime between Sunday evening and Monday morning, local time, according to the authorities.

According to the disaster authorities, the typhoon will bring heavy rainfall with extremely heavy precipitation in some areas between Sunday and Tuesday.

Bebinca will make landfall during a major holiday when the country's train operator expects the Chinese to make around 74 million trips. The authorities are urging people to closely monitor the weather development.

The weather authorities have issued an orange typhoon warning, the second-highest level on a four-level scale, for parts of Shanghai and surrounding areas. They state that the typhoon is the strongest in Shanghai's vicinity since 1949.

Bebinca passed the Philippines on Friday, where at least three people died from falling trees after strong winds.

Recently, Yagi, another typhoon, swept over, among other places, Myanmar, Vietnam, Laos, and Thailand. The storm has claimed several hundred lives in the affected countries.
