Co-May, the eighth typhoon of this year, made landfall on Zhoushan city of Zhejiang province at dawn on July 30. The typhoon is expected to make a second landfall between Fengxian district and the southern Pudong New Area in Shanghai this evening.

According to forecasts, Typhoon Co-May is expected to move into Jiangsu province from Shanghai's Jiading district or Chongming district between 8 pm July 30 and 1 am July 31. By the morning of July 31, the storm's impact on Shanghai will weaken.

During this period, Shanghai will experience strong winds and heavy to torrential rainfall, with gusts in Yangshan Port and coastal areas reaching levels 10 to 11.

Due to the impact of Co-May, the city has suspended some airlines, ferry routes, and trains, while imposing citywide highway speed limits.

Railway: Railway authorities will implement speed restrictions on some sections affected by the typhoon, including the Hangzhou-Shenzhen, Shanghai-Hangzhou, Hangzhou-Ningbo, Shanghai-Nanjing, and Beijing-Shanghai lines. Some trains will be temporarily suspended or operate on shortened routes.

However, to meet travel demands, 14 trains, including Ningbo to Jinan (T136), Ningbo to Xi'an (K466/7), and Ningbo to Luoyang (K166/7) on the Xiaoshan-Ningbo Railway, will resume operations.

Highway: All highways in Shanghai are under a 60 kilometers per hour speed limit.
