Intense flooding rainfall, powerful winds and large waves impacted Hong Kong and southern China on Sunday as Typhoon Wipha crossed the region.

Wipha, a Thai name, passed over the Philippines at tropical storm strength and drenched parts of Taiwan on Saturday. In the Philippines, the storm intensified seasonal monsoon rains, leaving at least a villager dead in floodwaters in northern Cagayan province.
