Roads and neighbourhoods in Shanghai flooded on Friday as the Chinese megacity was battered by a second typhoon days after it was hit by its strongest storm in 75 years. Typhoon Pulasan made landfall on Thursday night in the city’s Fengxian district, with a maximum wind speed of 23 metres per second (83 kilometres per hour), according to state-run Xinhua news agency. The storm “is forecast to gradually weaken as it moves inland”, Xinhua said, though downpours continued in the city on Friday morning.
