台风亚格至少造成海南岛两人死亡，这可能是近十年来最强的一次在南部中国登陆的台风。据新华社周六报道，地方当局称，暴风雨相关伤亡达92人。该台风昨晚首先在中国南部省份海南岛登陆，随后又击中了广东。
原来的名称为“马卡”，台风中心最大持续风速达到每小时232公里，相当于一个强热带风暴级别，具有造成重大损失的能力。台风此前曾掠过香港，现位于河内东南方向约500公里处，并预计向越南北部移动并逐渐减弱。根据香港天文台的最新预报，该台风将不再对香港构成威胁。
海南省将在周日中午前取消所有入港和出港航班。中国政府已拨款2亿元人民币用于海南和广东的救灾工作。广东省及邻近的广西地区政府此前已储备了大米和糖等物资，以防台风带来的影响。官方还呼吁人们清理沟渠以排涝、加固水稻田和温室。
台风亚格先是在菲律宾造成多人死亡、数千人撤离，然后通过南海向中国南部移动，并为香港带来了降水。周五，因天气预报延长了暴风雨警告信号，香港联交所暂停了交易活动，这可能是历史上最后一次台风导致的交易中断。周六，香港天文台将暴风雨预警信号下调至3号，随后又降级为较强的西南季风。
香港国际机场，全球最大的客运和货运中心之一，在周五大约20%的航班被取消或重新安排时间，基本保持正常运营。
