Typhoon In-fa (202106) in 2021 passed closest, at roughly 96 km, while Typhoon Opal (196208) in 1962 reached the greatest peak intensity, with a minimum central pressure of 900 hPa and maximum winds of 75 m/s. Tianjin lies on the western coast of the Bohai Bay, so direct typhoon landfalls are rare. However, the remnants of northbound typhoons and Bohai storm surges can still affect the city. In 2018, the remnants of Ampil brought severe rain to Tianjin, while storm-surge water buildup in the Bohai Bay combined with flooding along the Hai River created a risk unique to Tianjin. ## Current Typhoon Updates There are currently no active typhoons in the Northwest Pacific.
