Today's Typhoon Situation Overview
Today (July 31), waters of the Northwest Pacific are far from calm. This year's 13th typhoon, “DOLPHIN,” remains active over the open ocean, maintaining its formidable intensity as a super typhoon. Meanwhile, Typhoon “NOUL,” which made landfall earlier, has gradually weakened and dissipated, leaving all eyes on the development and future track of “DOLPHIN.”
Analysis of Active Typhoon Conditions
Typhoon “DOLPHIN” (Super Typhoon)
At present, the center of “DOLPHIN” is located over the Northwest Pacific at 18.9°N, 160.5°E. The maximum sustained winds near its center have reached 60 m/s, while its central pressure has fallen to 920 hPa. It is moving northwest at 20 km/h. According to the latest official forecast, it is expected to reach approximately 25.4°N, 136.6°E by the afternoon of August 5, weakening to the severe typhoon level. As it is currently far from China's mainland, it will have no direct impact on China's coastal waters in the short term. However, its long-term track will require continued close monitoring.
Public Focus
Based on meteorological information from various sources, public attention is currently focused on two main issues. The first is “DOLPHIN's” extreme intensity. Its well-defined eye and rapid intensification have sparked widespread discussion, and many weather enthusiasts believe it has the potential to become the “strongest typhoon of the year.” The second is its future track. Numerical forecast models from different agencies differ, leading to heated debate over whether it will continue northwestward, affecting China's East China coast and Taiwan region, or turn mid-course toward Vietnam.
Meteorological Preparedness Advisory
Although “DOLPHIN” is currently far out at sea, typhoon tracks are complex and subject to change, and further adjustments remain possible in the days ahead. Coastal areas and provinces that may be affected should remain alert and closely monitor the latest developments. Vessels engaged in offshore operations should return to port promptly to shelter from severe weather, while coastal areas should prepare in advance for strong winds and storm surges.
A final reminder to all readers: weather conditions can change at any moment. Please refer to the warnings issued by the CMA and local government authorities for the latest information.
