Overview of Today's Typhoon Situation
Two typhoons are currently active in the Western Pacific. Typhoon No. 13, "DOLPHIN," is continuing to approach China's southeast coast, maintaining severe typhoon intensity, making the typhoon defense situation increasingly critical. Meanwhile, Typhoon No. 15, "CHAN-HOM," is active in the open ocean and is not expected to have a direct impact on China. Overall, the southeast coast and the Yangtze River Delta region are the primary areas of focus for defense efforts today.
Analysis of Active Typhoon Dynamics
Typhoon No. 13, "DOLPHIN," is currently located at 27.2°N, 129.8°E, with a central pressure of 955 hPa and maximum sustained winds of 42 m/s. It is moving westward at 19 km/h. It is expected to make landfall along the coast from Zhejiang to northern Fujian between the afternoon of the 9th and the morning of the 10th. Official forecasts indicate that by the morning of the 12th, it will move to near 31.2°N, 115.8°E and weaken into a tropical storm.
Typhoon No. 15, "CHAN-HOM," is located at 28.8°N, 161.7°E, with a central pressure of 998 hPa and maximum sustained winds of 18 m/s. It is moving northwestward at 21 km/h. It is expected to reach near 41.3°N, 142.1°E by the morning of the 12th, remaining at tropical storm intensity and primarily affecting the open ocean.
Public Attention and Disaster Prevention Focus
Based on today's weather releases and media reports, public attention is highly focused on the landfall trajectory of "DOLPHIN." Fujian has activated its typhoon emergency response, with the system expected to enter the warning zone tomorrow. Multiple districts in Shanghai, including Jinshan, Pudong, Chongming, and Fengxian, have issued blue typhoon warnings, and urban flood control preparations are fully underway. Additionally, water conservancy departments in places like Ningbo have deployed defenses in advance, and emergency repair teams for power and other utilities are on high alert. Notably, Chaoyang in Liaoning Province in the north has also issued a blue wind warning, reminding us that the strong winds brought by the typhoon's outer circulation should not be underestimated.
Defense Guidelines
In the face of the approaching "DOLPHIN," residents in coastal areas of Zhejiang and Fujian, as well as in Shanghai, should closely monitor wind and rain impacts, minimize outdoor activities, and secure structures susceptible to being blown away. Offshore operation platforms and passing vessels should return to port promptly to seek shelter. Inland areas need to guard against secondary disasters caused by heavy precipitation.
Please refer to official warnings from the CMA (China Meteorological Administration) and local governments.
