Today's Typhoon Situation Overview
On the evening of August 6, typhoon activity in the Northwest Pacific entered an active phase, with a complex pattern of multiple typhoons over the ocean. Typhoon No. 13, "DOLPHIN," is advancing powerfully toward the coastal areas of East China, becoming the main focus of defensive preparations; Typhoon No. 15, "CHAN-HOM," is active over the distant ocean. Overall, the eastern coast of China is about to face significant wind and rainfall challenges.
Analysis of Active Typhoons
Typhoon No. 13, "DOLPHIN" (Severe Typhoon)
Its center is currently located at 26.6°N, 132°E, with a minimum central pressure of 955 hPa and maximum winds of 42 m/s. The system is moving westward at 16 km/h. According to official forecasts, it is expected to reach approximately 30.4°N, 116°E on the afternoon of the 11th and weaken to tropical storm intensity. Over the coming days, "DOLPHIN" will significantly affect the coast of East China and is likely to make landfall around Zhejiang.

Public Focus on Recent Meteorological Developments
Recent weather developments have sparked widespread public discussion. First, residents along the East China coast are closely following the specific timing of "DOLPHIN's" landfall and the extent of its wind and rainfall impacts. Typhoon preparedness measures in Shanghai, Zhejiang, Fujian, and other locations have become a major focus. Second, regarding the simultaneous presence of "DOLPHIN," "KUJIRA," and "CHAN-HOM," the public is particularly curious whether the systems will restrain or reinforce one another. Coastal transportation and tourism safety are also major concerns, with reports of some ferry routes in Zhoushan being suspended, maritime scenic areas closing, and emergency responses being activated in Fujian, Taiwan, and other areas, all of which have heightened travelers' concerns.
Coastal Defense and Safety Reminders
As "DOLPHIN" approaches, coastal areas of East China and parts of Taiwan should prepare in advance for strong winds and torrential rain. Vessels engaged in offshore operations should return to port and seek shelter as soon as possible. Maritime scenic areas and passenger routes along the coast must strictly implement closures and service suspensions. Inland areas should guard against secondary hazards that may be triggered by heavy rainfall, while residents in low-lying areas should prepare for possible flooding.
Please refer to the warnings issued by the CMA (China Meteorological Administration) and local government authorities.
