- A new tropical cyclone named TAPAH (termed "Lannie" in the Philippines) formed over the South China Sea close to the coast of western Luzon island (Philippines) on 4 September and started moving west toward the Guangdong province, southern China, strengthening. TAPAH made landfall over the Zhongmenhai city area (south-western Guangdong province) around 8 September at 0.00 UTC, with maximum sustained winds of 120 km/h (tropical cyclone).
- In the Philippines, its passage close to the Luzon island, caused heavy rainfall and floods. The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) reports, as of 7 September, 412 evacuated people and a total of nearly 83,700 affected people due to the combined effect of TAPAH and the Southwest Monsoon.
- TAPAH is expected to continue inland northwestward over the western Guangdong province and the central Guangxi province on 8-9 September, further weakening and dissipating.
- Over the next 72 hours, heavy rainfall with locally very heavy rainfall is forecast over Guangdong and Guangxi provinces and the neighbouring Hainan island.
- Tropical cyclone TAPAH, after its landfall over the south-western Guangdong province on 8 September, continued over the central Guangxi province as a tropical storm, further weakening into a tropical depression and dissipating on 9 September after 0.00 UTC.
- The passage of TAPAH over southern China caused heavy rainfall, strong winds and floods that have resulted in population evacuations and damage. Media report, as of 9 September, 12 injured people and approximately 60,000 evacuated people - of whom hundreds are across a number of temporary shelters - throughout the south-western Guangdong province, where the most affected area is the city of Taishan.
- Over the next 72 hours, heavy rainfall with locally very heavy rainfall is forecast over Guangdong and Guangxi provinces and the neighbouring Hainan island.
