Typhoon Aere to bring rainstorm to south China

Typhoon Aere, the 19th to hit China this year, will likely bring heavy rain to the southern province of Guangdong, the local meteorological authority said today.
Aere grew from a tropical storm into a typhoon Thursday morning, and is heading for China from the Philippines, the provincial flood control and drought relief headquarters here said.
The typhoon will move westward across the South China Sea from Thursday to Saturday, and will be in Guangdong, especially the southern and eastern parts of the province, until early next week, state-run Xinhua news agency reported.
Aere's route is hard to predict, and the flood control and drought relief headquarters warned local governments to take measures and ensure people's safety.
