Typhoon Noul was a powerful tropical cyclone that became the strongest typhoon to hit China in 2026 after sweeping past the northern Philippines. Locally named Kiyapo in the Philippines, the storm brought torrential rains, high winds, and coastal hazards across northern Luzon, resulting in at least three fatalities and affecting over 290,000 people before rapidly intensifying over the South China Sea. On July 26, 2026, Noul made landfall as a severe typhoon near Pinghai Town in Guangdong Province, China, with maximum sustained winds reaching 162 km/h (101 mph). The storm triggered mass emergency evacuations of over 800,000 residents in Guangdong, caused widespread travel disruptions with hundreds of canceled flights and trains in Hong Kong and southern mainland China, and unleashed severe flash flooding before weakening as it moved inland.
