From December 1 to 2, Guangdong province will be mostly cloudy to overcast, with light rain expected in some cities and counties. The temperature difference between day and night will decrease, and the minimum temperature in northern Guangdong and the Pearl River Delta will be around 10°C.
At 10 AM on November 29, Typhoon Koto, the 27th typhoon of 2025, was located in the southwestern part of the South China Sea, with a minimum central pressure of 982 hPa. The typhoon is expected to linger and rotate in place while gradually weakening. Although it will not make landfall in Guangdong, it will bring moist air onshore, leading to increased cloud cover and higher humidity levels.
However, since the weather remains dry, the forest fire risk level is still high. To date, all counties and districts in the province have issued a red alert, the highest-level warning, for forest fires. Please remain vigilant regarding fire prevention and the safe use of fire and electricity.
With such dry weather, static electricity is becoming more prevalent. Here are tips for avoiding static electricity.
