Typhoon Wipha has caused major flight disruptions in Hong Kong and parts of southern China. Airports in Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Zhuhai, and Macao canceled or delayed all daytime flights on Sunday.

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.

A tropical storm is intensifying and is expected to reach typhoon strength before hitting southern China's coast on Sunday
