Typhoon Noul is hitting Guangdong with 340,000+ evacuations; it is the third major storm in 25 days to strike southern China's export hubs (Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Hong Kong), creating a structural supply chain vulnerability for New Zealand importers who source heavily from the region.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Supply Chain.

◆ The Wire takeaway

If you import from Guangdong, your Q4 orders are now shipping through peak typhoon season with proven hit rate: three storms in 25 days. Either add six weeks to your delivery timeline now, or you will be out of stock in November.
