Typhoon Ragasa

Question

Going to Guangzhou on 26 Sept, does anyone knows how is the situation in Guangzhou now ? Is it raining every day ? Thanks..

Answer

You’re arriving in Guangzhou on 26 September soon after Super Typhoon Ragasa passed through the region. Here’s a summary of how things are looking now, what the recent typhoon did, and what to expect for your stay.

Recent Typhoon Impact

Typhoon Ragasa made landfall in Guangdong province around 24 September and brought very strong winds and heavy rain to the Pearl River Delta region, including Guangzhou.

The city of Guangzhou instituted sweeping “five suspensions” (classes, work, production, business, transport) beginning the evening of 23 September due to Ragasa’s approach. Transport systems, businesses, and schools were heavily disrupted.

Current Conditions & What to Expect During Your Visit

The historical weather for late September shows temperatures for Guangzhou in the range of ~23–25 °C overnight and up to low-30s (°C) during the day. Rainfall in the immediate typhoon period was heavy, but by 26 September things appear to be stabilising as the storm moves away.

That said, you should still expect:

Some residual rainfall or showers, especially in the first day or two after the storm.
Puddles, possible flooding in low-lying areas, and disruption to transport or services while clean-up continues.
Wind-affected trees, possible power or water supply hiccups in some streets. Though major damage appears avoided in Guangzhou itself, things could still be patchy.

Travel & Planning Tips

Check your flight, train or bus connections in advance—some residual disruptions may still be in the system after the typhoon.
Carry an umbrella or lightweight rain jacket, because while it might not be heavy rain all day, brief showers are quite possible.
Choose your accommodation and transport routes with a little extra margin for time in case of delays or detours.
Avoid picking a hotel in a known flood-prone or low-lying area if possible, as heavy rainfall runoff can linger after a major storm.

Summary

In short: you should be okay arriving on 26 September. The worst of Typhoon Ragasa’s impact on Guangzhou appears to have passed, and weather looks more stable. But you *will* want to plan for some residual effects—rain or showers, possible transport/utility disruption—and keep your schedule a bit flexible.
