Today's Typhoon Situation Overview
Today (July 29), typhoon activity in the Northwest Pacific has undergone notable changes. This year's 13th typhoon, DOLPHIN, has rapidly intensified over the open sea, with its strength continuing to increase. Meanwhile, although the previously landfalling typhoon NOUL has been discontinued, its residual circulation continues to bring wind and rain to parts of China. Overall, the remote-ocean typhoon is developing rapidly, while China needs to remain alert to secondary hazards triggered by lingering rainbands.
Analysis of Active Typhoons
Typhoon DOLPHIN (13th)
At present, DOLPHIN's center is located over the Northwest Pacific at 14.7°N, 168.4°E. Observations show that its central pressure is 940 hPa and its maximum sustained wind speed is 50 m/s. It is moving west-northwest at 21 km/h.
In terms of trends, DOLPHIN is in a period of rapid intensification. Official forecasts indicate that by the afternoon of August 3, it will move to approximately 24.6°N, 147.4°E and reach super typhoon intensity. As it is currently far from mainland China, it is expected to have no direct effects on wind or rain in China over the next five days, but there remains some uncertainty over its future track.
Public Focus
Based on today's meteorological information, public attention is focused mainly on the following:
First, DOLPHIN's rapid intensification and changes in track. Favorable sea-surface temperatures have resulted in a remarkable intensification rate, and many netizens are asking whether it may make landfall along southeastern China's coast. Meteorological authorities say there are still several possible landfall locations and that further confirmation is needed next week.
Second, the possible connection with overseas disasters. Japan recently experienced an earthquake, and the public has expressed concerns over whether DOLPHIN could affect Japan's weather and infrastructure in the future.
Finally, the effects of NOUL's residual circulation. Although the typhoon has been discontinued, relatively heavy rainfall continues in Guangdong, Henan, Hubei, and other areas, making flash floods and geological hazards a major concern for inland residents.
Defensive and Safety Advisories
In light of the current weather situation, people in all regions are advised to take note of the following: vessels operating in coastal and remote-ocean waters should closely monitor DOLPHIN's latest movements and shelter in good time; those in southern areas where prolonged rainfall continues should remain alert to secondary hazards such as flash floods and mudslides and avoid traveling to mountainous and river-valley areas where possible. Typhoon tracks and intensities can change rapidly, so please continue to follow the latest updates and rely on warnings issued by the CMA and local government authorities.
