Overview of Today’s Typhoon Situation
Typhoon activity in the northwestern Pacific became active again on the evening of July 28. After this year’s 12th typhoon, “NOUL,” weakened over land and was no longer numbered, the 13th typhoon, “DOLPHIN,” officially took over as the clear focus of current oceanic activity. At present, the overall typhoon situation is in a transitional period between the old and new systems: a newly formed typhoon is gathering strength over the open ocean, while residual rainfall over land continues.
Analysis of Active Typhoons
Typhoon “DOLPHIN” (202613)
- Current position: Over the northwestern Pacific Ocean at 13.3°N, 171.8°E.
- Intensity: Maximum sustained winds near the center of 35 m/s (typhoon intensity), with a minimum central pressure of 970 hPa.
- Movement trend: Moving west-northwest at 18 km/h.
- Forecast: Official forecasts indicate that it will continue to intensify. By around 14:00 on August 2, its center is expected to reach approximately 23.3°N, 154.2°E, with the potential to reach super typhoon intensity. The typhoon is currently far from China’s mainland, but its future track and changes in intensity still require close monitoring.
Public Attention
Recent public discussion has focused mainly on the transition between and effects of the two successive typhoons. On the one hand, weather enthusiasts are closely following the peak intensity of “DOLPHIN,” with some forecasts suggesting that it could reach the super typhoon level of Category 17. Heavy-rain warnings issued in places such as Fujian have also prompted coastal residents to discuss the potential effects of wind and rain at a later stage. On the other hand, although “NOUL,” which made landfall in Huizhou, Guangdong, at Category 14 intensity, has ceased to be numbered, the social response it triggered remains a topic of interest. Topics including the relocation of more than 280,000 people cumulatively in Guangdong, insurance claims totaling RMB 36.7877 million, the reopening of the Hong Kong–Zhuhai–Macao Bridge after its temporary closure, and Shenzhen’s use of a swarm of drones to capture the entire landfall process for the first time as a technological disaster-prevention measure have continued to attract public attention.
Meteorological Defense Reminders
Although “DOLPHIN” is currently far out at sea and will not directly affect China in the short term, vessels engaged in maritime navigation and offshore operations should closely monitor its movements and take timely action to avoid it. Meanwhile, under the influence of NOUL’s residual circulation and the monsoon, heavy rain and torrential rain will continue in some southern provinces, and the delayed onset of geological hazards should be guarded against.
Please continue to follow the latest meteorological information and rely on warnings issued by the CMA and local government authorities.
