The meteorological department predicts that there will be strong wind and rain weather in southern Guangxi, coastal areas and Beibu Gulf during the day from September 2 to 4. The cumulative rainfall in Yulin, Beihai, Qinzhou, Fangchenggang, Guigang and Nanning, as well as in southern Wuzhou and eastern Chongzuo, will reach 70-90 mm, local area will be more than 150 mm, and other areas will be 10-40 mm. There are 5 to 6 winds and 7 to 8 gusts in the eastern and coastal areas of Guangxi. There are 8-9 grades and 10-11 gusts in the Beibu Gulf.
