Typhoon Bot Original · 2026-08-07 Evening Edition · More Typhoon News · live track map
The typhoon situation over the northwestern Pacific became clearer this evening. Although online discussion of typhoon impacts along East China's coast has been intense in recent days, the latest authoritative monitoring data show that the typhoons currently active over the ocean are still far from China. Coastal warnings should therefore be based primarily on the specific bulletins issued by local meteorological authorities.
Active Typhoon Updates
The typhoon currently active over the northwestern Pacific is this year's 15th typhoon, CHAN-HOM. It is currently at tropical storm intensity, with its center located at 29.6°N, 160.3°E. Its minimum central pressure is 998 hPa, and its maximum sustained wind speed is 18 m/s.
CHAN-HOM is moving northwestward at 22 km/h. According to the latest official track forecast, it is expected to reach approximately 39.9°N, 137.9°E around 14:00 on August 12, while maintaining tropical storm intensity. As it is currently located far to the east and a considerable distance from China's mainland coastline, it will have no direct impact on China's offshore waters or land in the short term.
Public Attention and Warnings
Public attention today has focused mainly on preparations for strong winds and rain along East China's coast and in Taiwan, China. Typhoon blue warning signals have been issued in several areas of Jiaxing, Zhejiang, as well as parts of Shanghai. Meanwhile, Taiwan's meteorological authorities have issued advisories for strong winds over land, urging people in many areas to prepare for strong winds and rainfall.
In addition, information claiming that a typhoon named DOLPHIN would affect Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai has appeared online. It is important to note that some of the meteorological information circulating online is automatically generated and may contain inaccuracies or fail to reflect the latest developments. Users should carefully verify the source of information to avoid being misled by fabricated or synthesized content.
Safety and Preparedness Advice
Although the distant typhoon is not directly affecting China at present, coastal areas and some other regions should remain alert for localized severe convective weather. Offshore work platforms and vessels should closely monitor the latest meteorological changes and strictly implement measures to protect against strong winds and seek shelter. Coastal residents should minimize outdoor activities during periods of strong winds and take precautions against falling objects from high elevations.
Weather conditions are complex and subject to rapid change. Please refer to warnings issued by the CMA (China Meteorological Administration) and local governments.
