Wipha, a Thai name, passed over the Philippines at tropical storm strength and drenched parts of Taiwan on Saturday. In the Philippines, the storm intensified seasonal monsoon rains, leaving at least a villager dead in floodwaters in northern Cagayan province.

Typhoon Wipha disrupts travel in Taiwan and is set to impact southern China, Vietnam, and Laos. The storm caused high winds and rain, leading to flight and ferry cancellations. As Wipha strengthens, heavy rain and strong winds are expected along China's southern coast before it weakens heading west.
