HANGZHOU, September 4 (Xinhua) -- Typhoon Nabi, the No. 14 tropical storm this year, would bring strong winds and rainstorms to coastal areas of east China's Zhejiang Province starting Monday, local provincial meteorological station said on Sunday.

Typhoon Nabi was moving northwest with a speed of 20 kilometers per hour, packing force 12 gusts, according to the station.

Nabi located at 24.1 degrees north longitude and 132.5 degrees east latitude in the seawaters 1,220 kilometers southeast of Dinghai of Zhejiang Province at around 2 a.m. Sunday.
