Typhoon "Honxia," the 12th tropical cyclone of the season, weakened from typhoon to strong tropical storm status on the morning of July 26, prompting heightened emergency responses across China's transportation sector [1]. The Central Meteorological Administration issued a red alert for rainstorms and a yellow alert for typhoons, while the Ministry of Transport maintained its highest-level response to heavy rainfall and adjusted its typhoon defense response to level four [1].
As of 11 a.m. on July 26, the typhoon's center was located in Boluo County, Huizhou City, Guangdong Province, with maximum peripheral winds reaching level 10 (25 meters per second) and a minimum central pressure of 985 hectopascals [1]. Meteorological forecasts predicted that between 2 p.m. on July 26 and 2 p.m. on July 27, parts of central and eastern Guangdong, southern Jiangxi, and southeastern Hunan would experience torrential rainfall ranging from 250 to 450 millimeters [1].
In response, the Ministry of Transport implemented stringent protective measures, requiring all departments to "close what should be closed, halt what should be halted, and evacuate where evacuation is necessary" [1]. The directive emphasized comprehensive safety management and recovery operations for highways, ports, high-speed rail, and metro systems [1].
