Typhoon Doksuri, a powerful storm that recently made landfall in the Philippines, has weakened slightly as it heads towards China. The storm hit the Philippines on Wednesday, claiming at least five lives and causing extensive flooding and landslides. Currently moving north-northwest at 15 mph, Doksuri is expected to make landfall in China on Friday.

With wind speeds of 180 mph, equivalent to a Category 3 hurricane, Doksuri remains a formidable threat. The storm is also accompanied by heavy rainfall, with some regions expecting up to 20 inches of precipitation. This could lead to further flooding and pose a risk of mudslides, particularly in mountainous areas.

As the storm continues its path, the southern Chinese provinces of Fujian and Guangdong are under threat. These densely populated and heavily industrialized areas could experience substantial damage to infrastructure and property due to Doksuri's anticipated strong winds and heavy rains.

Regarding Cambodia, there is currently no immediate danger from Typhoon Doksuri. However, the storm is expected to pass close to the Cambodian coast, potentially bringing strong winds and heavy rainfall to the country. Cambodian authorities are closely monitoring the situation and have issued precautionary advisories to the public.

The impact of Doksuri in the Philippines has already been severe, resulting in the loss of at least five lives and displacing thousands due to widespread flooding and landslides. Authorities in the Philippines are in the process of assessing the full extent of the damage caused by the typhoon.

Notably, Doksuri is the strongest typhoon to have struck the Philippines this year, bearing the equivalent strength of a Category 3 hurricane according to the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale. Additionally, this marks the second typhoon to affect China this month.

While Doksuri is expected to weaken as it moves further inland, the potential for significant damage and disruption remains. As the storm progresses, authorities in both the Philippines and China are urging residents to take necessary precautions to ensure their safety and protect their properties from the impending impact of Typhoon Doksuri.
