Typhoon Bot Original · 2026-08-05 Evening Edition · More Typhoon News · live track map
Today's Typhoon Situation Overview
On the evening of August 5, the northwestern Pacific and nearby waters were experiencing an active period, with three typhoons simultaneously in progress. This year's 13th typhoon, "DOLPHIN," is steadily approaching China's East China Sea, while the 14th typhoon, "KUJIRA," and the 15th typhoon, "CHAN-HOM," have also become active. Overall, the typhoons over the open ocean have complex trajectories, while the impacts of nearshore typhoons on coastal areas are gradually becoming apparent.
Analysis of Active Typhoons
Typhoon "DOLPHIN" (severe typhoon): Currently located over the northwestern Pacific, it has a maximum sustained wind speed of 45 m/s near its center and is moving westward at 23 km/h. Its intensity has fluctuated due to multiple eyewall replacement cycles. Official forecasts indicate that it will enter the East China Sea on the 10th. Given its enormous size, its future track and resulting wind and rainfall impacts warrant close attention.
Typhoon "KUJIRA" (tropical storm): Formed in the early hours of today, it is currently located over nearshore waters, with a maximum sustained wind speed of 18 m/s near its center, and is moving slowly northeastward. It is expected to remain weak and weaken into a tropical depression tomorrow.
Typhoon "CHAN-HOM" (tropical storm): Located over the open ocean, it is moving northward at a relatively fast pace. It is expected to turn over the sea and will have no direct impact on China's nearshore waters.
Public Focus
Public attention is currently focused on the track and impacts of "DOLPHIN." On the one hand, its massive size and erratic track have sparked widespread discussion. The storm has not only delayed fishing operations in places such as Xiapu, Fujian, but has also caused flight cancellations that have disrupted travelers heading to Japan. On the other hand, the strong wind and rain forecast for East China and Jiangnan over the weekend, issued by meteorological authorities, has kept residents of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai, and Anhui highly alert to flood-control and typhoon-preparedness efforts.
Typhoon Safety Reminders
With complex sea conditions in recent days, coastal aquaculture facilities and vessels engaged in offshore operations should closely monitor typhoon developments and promptly take preventive measures such as returning to port to shelter from the storm. Travelers heading to coastal East China and Japan should adjust their itineraries appropriately and check for any changes to transportation schedules. Typhoon tracks are highly variable in late summer and early autumn, so everyone should remain vigilant and prepare their homes for strong winds.
Reminder: Typhoon tracks and intensities can change rapidly. Please refer to official warnings from the CMA and local governments for the latest information.
