Vietnam is preparing for the arrival of Typhoon Talim, which is expected to weaken on Wednesday. Despite the typhoon not directly hitting Hong Kong, the financial hub had to take precautionary measures.

Schools and the stock market in Hong Kong remained closed on Monday as Talim swept south of the city. As a result, over 100 people sought shelter at temporary shelters provided by the government. Various events were postponed, and some government and ferry services were temporarily halted.

The Hong Kong Observatory raised a No. 8 typhoon signal, the third-highest warning under the city's weather system, at 12:40 am on Monday. This was the first time such a signal had been raised this year in Hong Kong. The effects of Typhoon Talim are being felt beyond Hong Kong as well.

In Vietnam, the country is preparing for the typhoon's arrival, with authorities encouraging residents to secure their properties and evacuate if necessary. It is predicted that the typhoon will weaken as it reaches the coastal areas of Vietnam.

The anticipation of Typhoon Talim has caused disruptions not only in Hong Kong but also in the region. As a result of the typhoon, 16 flights were canceled at Hong Kong's airport.

However, authorities are closely monitoring the situation and taking necessary steps to ensure the safety of residents and travelers.

While the impact of Typhoon Talim might not be as severe as initially anticipated, it is crucial for authorities and residents to remain cautious and follow any safety instructions provided.
