Typhoon Bot Original · 2026-08-05 Evening Edition · More typhoon news · live track map
Overview of Today's Typhoon Situation
On the evening of August 5, the Northwest Pacific and nearby coastal waters saw active conditions with three typhoons simultaneously present. This year's 13th typhoon, "DOLPHIN," is steadily approaching China's East China Sea, while the 14th, "KUGA," and the 15th, "CHAN-HOM," are also becoming active. Overall, the movements of distant typhoons are complex, and the impact of near-shore typhoons on coastal areas is gradually becoming apparent.
Analysis of Active Typhoon Dynamics
Typhoon "DOLPHIN" (Severe Typhoon): Currently located in the Northwest Pacific, with maximum sustained winds near the center of 45 m/s, moving westward at 23 km/h. Its intensity has fluctuated due to multiple eyewall replacement cycles. Official forecasts predict it will move into the East China Sea on the 10th. Due to its large size, its future track and the associated wind and rain impacts warrant close monitoring.
Typhoon "KUGA" (Tropical Storm): Formed early this morning, currently located in near-shore waters, with maximum central winds of 18 m/s, moving slowly northeast. It is expected to remain weak and weaken into a tropical depression tomorrow.
Typhoon "CHAN-HOM" (Tropical Storm): Located in the open ocean, moving northward at a relatively fast speed. It is expected to turn out to sea, with no direct impact on China's coastal waters in the future.
Public Concerns and Focus
Public attention is currently highly focused on the path and impact of "DOLPHIN." On one hand, its massive size and erratic trajectory have sparked widespread discussion, not only causing delays in fishing operations in places like Xiapu, Fujian, but also leading to flight cancellations for travelers heading to Japan. On the other hand, weather forecasts issued by meteorological departments predicting strong winds and heavy rain for East China and Jiangnan regions over the weekend have kept residents in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai, and Anhui provinces on high alert for flood and typhoon prevention.
Typhoon Safety Tips
Marine conditions are complex in recent days. Coastal aquaculture facilities and offshore operation vessels should closely monitor typhoon developments and take timely preventive measures, such as returning to port for shelter. Travelers planning to visit the eastern coastal areas of China and Japan should arrange their itineraries reasonably and stay informed about transportation schedule adjustments. Typhoon paths are variable during the transition from late summer to early autumn; please remain vigilant and prepare your homes for strong winds.
Note: Typhoon paths and intensities can change rapidly. Please refer to official warnings from the CMA (China Meteorological Administration) and local governments.
