Typhoon Bot Original · 2026-07-30 · More typhoon news · live track map
Overview of Today's Typhoon Situation
The northwestern Pacific Ocean is witnessing dramatic weather developments today. Typhoon No. 13, "DOLPHIN," has undergone rare explosive intensification and has officially entered the super typhoon category. Meanwhile, influenced by the residual circulation of previous typhoons and the monsoon, persistent precipitation continues in parts of southern China. Overall, while the distant typhoon is developing rapidly, weather systems in coastal waters remain relatively stable.
Updates on Active Typhoon "DOLPHIN"
As of the 30th, the center of Super Typhoon "DOLPHIN" was located over the northwestern Pacific Ocean at 16.1°N, 166.3°E. The central minimum pressure was 910 hPa, with maximum sustained winds reaching 65 m/s. It is currently moving toward the west-northwest at a speed of 20 km/h.
According to the latest official track forecast, "DOLPHIN" will gradually approach the waters south of Japan. It is expected to reach the vicinity of 24.4°N, 143.3°E around 05:00 on August 4, maintaining its super typhoon intensity. Comprehensive predictions indicate that this typhoon will have no direct impact on mainland China within the next five days, so there is no need for excessive public alarm.
Public Sentiment and Key Focus Areas
Recent meteorological topics have generated significant interest, with public attention focused on three main aspects:
First is the astonishing explosive power of "DOLPHIN." Its rapid intensification over a very short period has sparked heated online discussions about whether it will become the "Typhoon King of the Year."
Second is the "unpredictability" of track forecasts. Faced with varying predictions such as "heading straight for Zhejiang" or "making landfall in Japan," some members of the public are confused by the changes in forecast conclusions. In fact, typhoon tracks are influenced by the interplay of multiple factors, including the subtropical high and monsoons, leading to certain uncertainties. This remains a challenge that the meteorological community continues to address through public education and research.
Third is the application of cutting-edge technology. News that China has employed swarm drones for full-process typhoon monitoring for the first time is exciting, marking a historic step forward in high-frequency, multi-dimensional observation of typhoon internal structures.
Defense and Safety Tips
Although "DOLPHIN" does not currently directly affect China, it is the main flood season, and the monsoon trough is active. Many areas in southern China must continue to guard against urban waterlogging and geological disasters caused by persistent rainfall and severe convective weather. Coastal areas should pay attention to sea waves and winds; vessels at sea should return to port promptly to take shelter and must not venture out blindly.
Weather conditions change rapidly. Please refer to official warnings issued by the CMA (China Meteorological Administration) and local governments.
