Overview of Calm Seas

As of Beijing Time on July 20, 2026, the Northwest Pacific and South China Sea are relatively calm, with no active typhoons currently forming or present. We are currently in the "Major Heat" solar term. Although there are no named typhoons on the sea surface at the moment, oceanic thermal conditions remain abundant. From the perspective of atmospheric circulation, tropical disturbances are still brewing within the monsoon trough along the edge of the subtropical high, and it is possible that a new typhoon system will emerge in the coming days.

Public Attention and Meteorological Science

Recently, many weather enthusiasts and media outlets have focused on tropical disturbances in the open ocean, discussing the possibility of a "typhoon nursery" establishing itself. The period from late July to early August is the peak season for typhoon landfalls in China, commonly referred to in meteorology as the critical flood control period of "late July and early August." During this time, the monsoon is active, and sea surface temperatures are high, which is highly favorable for the development of tropical cyclones. Public interest in the tracks and rainfall impacts of potential new typhoons continues to rise.

Furthermore, recent public discourse has mentioned some heartbreaking safety incidents, such as individuals going missing after playing in diversion channels or riverbeds before a typhoon's arrival. This serves as a wake-up call: heavy rainfall brought by the outer circulation of typhoons or monsoons is often sudden and hidden. Do not linger in dangerous water areas or take chances.

Summer Safety Tips

Even during a typhoon lull, we must not let our guard down. As we are in the height of summer, localized thermal convection develops strongly in the afternoons, making some areas prone to severe convective weather such as short-duration heavy rainfall, thunderstorms, and strong winds. It is recommended that the public take precautions against sudden thunderstorms when engaging in outdoor activities, stay away from billboards, temporary structures, and flood-prone areas, and residents in mountainous regions should be alert to the delayed nature of geological disasters.

As tropical systems over the ocean continue to develop, the weather situation may shift. Please stay informed about meteorological updates and plan your travel accordingly.

Please refer to official warnings issued by the CMA (China Meteorological Administration) and local governments.
