Typhoon Bot Original · 2026-07-30 Evening Edition · More typhoon news · live track map

Overview of Today's Typhoon Situation

The northwestern Pacific Ocean is far from calm today. After undergoing an eyewall replacement cycle, Typhoon No. 13 of the year, "DOLPHIN," has re-consolidated its status as a super typhoon. As the most prominent weather system recently, its peak intensity is approaching the threshold for this year's "King of Typhoons." The evolution of its future path has also become a top priority for meteorological departments to monitor.

Updates on Active Typhoon "DOLPHIN"

Currently, the center of "DOLPHIN" is located over the northwestern Pacific Ocean at 17.1°N, 164.5°E. The maximum sustained wind speed near the center has reached 60 m/s, with a minimum central pressure of 920 hPa. The structure is compact and energy-rich.

In terms of movement, it is advancing toward the west-northwest at a speed of 22 km/h. According to the latest official forecast, by 17:00 on August 4, its center will move to near 24.6°N, 140.9°E, by which time its intensity will weaken to that of a severe typhoon. Since it is currently far from land, there will be no direct wind or rain impact on China in the short term. However, vessels navigating in the open ocean must remain highly alert to the gale-force winds and massive waves it generates.

Public Opinion and Key Areas of Concern

Synthesizing information from various sources today, public attention is mainly focused on two dimensions. First is the long-range path of "DOLPHIN." Many coastal residents are closely watching whether it will turn to head directly for the East China coast or make landfall in Japan and South Korea, remaining vigilant against its potential threats. Second, the "aftereffects" left by the earlier Typhoon NONGFA after its landfall in Guangdong remain a hot topic. These include mosquito control and epidemic prevention issues caused by persistent urban waterlogging, as well as inspiring stories of grassroots personnel sticking to their rescue posts in severe weather. This serves as a reminder that post-disaster reconstruction and hygiene precautions must not be relaxed.

Meteorological Defense Tips

Although "DOLPHIN" is far out in the deep sea, sea conditions in the northwestern Pacific are rough. Vessels in relevant waters must take care to seek shelter from the wind. For parts of southern China that have just weathered the typhoon, the current period is critical for post-rain epidemic prevention. It is necessary to clear standing water promptly and overturn containers to prevent mosquito breeding. Additionally, thunderstorms are still prone to occur in the afternoon in some southern regions; please prepare rain gear when traveling and pay attention to traffic safety.

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