Overview of Today's Typhoon Situation

On the evening of July 24, Typhoon "NANGKA," the 12th named storm of the year, continued to approach the coastal areas of South China. As its circulation drew nearer, wind and rain impacts began to manifest in Guangdong, Fujian, and Taiwan. Meteorological departments across these regions have issued frequent warnings, and comprehensive flood and typhoon prevention measures are now fully underway, marking the entry into a critical period for typhoon defense along the South China coast.

Analysis of "NANGKA"'s Movement and Impact

As of the evening of the 24th, the center of Typhoon "NANGKA" was located at 19.2°N, 121.6°E, with a central pressure of 985 hPa and maximum sustained winds of 25 m/s, maintaining its status as a severe tropical storm. It is moving toward the west-northwest at a speed of 28 km/h.

According to the latest official forecasts, "NANGKA" is expected to make landfall along the coast between Chaozhou and Shenzhen in Guangdong Province as early as the night of the 25th. Influenced by its extensive outer circulation and core system, intense precipitation is forecast for eastern Guangdong and southern Fujian from the 25th to the 27th, with cumulative rainfall reaching 150 to 300 mm, and locally up to 400 to 450 mm. Additionally, eastern and southern parts of Taiwan Island will face heavy to torrential rain, while northern regions should remain alert for foehn wind effects. "NANGKA" is projected to weaken into a tropical depression and move further inland by the afternoon of the 28th.

Public Concerns

As "NANGKA" draws closer, society is closely monitoring its secondary impacts. Regarding transportation, railways within Guangdong Province are expected to suspend all operations on the 26th to ensure safety, while many areas in Guangdong and Fujian have already implemented work stoppages and suspended shipping services. In terms of meteorological disaster prevention, local heavy or torrential rains in areas such as Lanyu and the Hengchun Peninsula in Taiwan have drawn significant attention. Water resource authorities have fully deployed measures to guard against rainstorm-induced flooding, and public awareness regarding urban waterlogging and geological hazards has significantly increased.

Safety and Defense Tips

During the typhoon's impact, residents are advised to minimize outdoor activities and stay away from hazardous areas such as coastlines, mountainous regions, and river channels. Coastal aquaculture farmers should reinforce fish rafts in advance, and relevant areas must remain vigilant against flash floods and geological disasters triggered by heavy rainfall. When staying indoors, please keep windows and doors securely closed and properly secure any loose items outdoors.

Please closely monitor the latest meteorological information and rely on official warnings issued by the CMA (China Meteorological Administration) and local governments.
