Typhoon Bot Original · 2026-07-31 · More typhoon news · live track map
Overview of Today's Typhoon Situation
Today (July 31), the Northwest Pacific is far from calm. This year's 13th typhoon, "DOLPHIN," remains active in the open ocean, maintaining its formidable strength as a super typhoon. Meanwhile, Typhoon No. 12 "NONGFA" (Hongxia), which made landfall earlier, has gradually weakened and dissipated. Currently, all attention is focused on the development and trajectory of "DOLPHIN."
Analysis of Active Typhoon Dynamics
Typhoon "DOLPHIN" (Super Typhoon)
Currently, the center of "DOLPHIN" is located over the Northwest Pacific at 18.9°N, 160.5°E. The maximum sustained winds near the center have reached 60 m/s, with a central minimum pressure of 920 hPa. It is moving northwest at a speed of 20 km/h. According to the latest official forecasts, it is expected to reach the vicinity of 25.4°N, 136.6°E by the afternoon of August 5, by which time its intensity will have weakened to that of a severe typhoon. As it is currently far from the Chinese mainland, it poses no direct threat to China's sea areas in the short term; however, its long-term path requires close monitoring.
Public Concerns and Focus Points
Based on various meteorological reports, public attention is currently concentrated on two main aspects. First is the extreme intensity of "DOLPHIN." Its clear eye and rapid intensification process have sparked widespread discussion, with many weather enthusiasts believing it has the potential to become the "Strongest Typhoon of the Year." Second is its future track. Due to discrepancies among different numerical weather prediction models, there is heated debate over whether it will continue northwestward to affect the eastern coastal regions of China and Taiwan, or turn mid-course towards Vietnam.
Meteorological Defense Advisory
Although "DOLPHIN" is currently far out in the open ocean, typhoon paths are complex and variable, and adjustments remain possible. Coastal provinces and potentially affected areas should remain vigilant and closely monitor its latest movements. Vessels operating at sea should return to port promptly to seek shelter from the wind, and coastal areas should make advance preparations for wind and storm surge protection.
Finally, readers are reminded that meteorological information changes rapidly. Please refer to official warnings issued by the CMA (China Meteorological Administration) and local governments.
