Shanghai yesterday issued its first typhoon alert of the year and warned residents to prepare for the effects of typhoon Morakot.

At 2pm on august 8, Morakot was 700 kilometers from the city, above the Taiwan Strait and heading north with a speed of 10 to 15 kilometers per hour. Now shanghai weather bureau issued a yellow typhoon alert, the second in the four-level system.

Although the power of Morakot is weakening and it is expected to be a tropical storm when it hits Shanghai, it will still result in heavy wind storms.

Winds are estimated to reach 74 kilometers per hour in downtown and 117 kilometers per hour in coastal areas. The city will be soaked by showers at about 90 millimeters per hour, which may rise to 150 millimeters per hour in some southern areas.

The bureau warned it could issue an orange or even red storm alert during the peak period today and tomorrow.And TV advised residents to remove items on sills and close windows during storm peaks to prevent accidents.
