Tropical Storm Kong-rey pounds Shanghai with heavy rain as it brushes China's eastern coast
Tropical Storm Kong-rey has made landfall in China's eastern coast, bringing heavy rains and strong winds to the region, including the financial hub of Shanghai. The storm forced the closure of all ferry services in Shanghai and the suspension of several high-speed trains. Heavy downpours are expected to persist across most parts of the city. Weather officials have warned that the deluge could break November rainfall records set more than 40 years ago. Japan is next on Kong-rey's path. Tan Yew Guan reports.Â
