Typhoon Bot Original · 2026-08-07 Evening Edition · More typhoon news · live track map
As of this evening, the typhoon activity in the Northwest Pacific has become clear. Although there has been intense online discussion recently about typhoons affecting the coastal areas of East China, according to the latest authoritative monitoring data, the active typhoon on the ocean is currently far from China. Coastal areas should primarily rely on specific alerts issued by local meteorological departments for precautionary measures.
Active Typhoon Status
The active typhoon in the Northwest Pacific is currently Typhoon No. 15 of the year, "KALMAEGI" (Canhong). It is currently classified as a tropical storm, with its center located at 29.6°N, 160.3°E. The minimum central pressure is 998 hPa, and the maximum sustained wind speed reaches 18 m/s.
In terms of movement, KALMAEGI is traveling northwest at a speed of 22 km/h. According to the latest official track forecast, it is expected to move to the vicinity of 39.9°N, 137.9°E around 14:00 on August 12, maintaining its intensity as a tropical storm. Due to its current easterly position and significant distance from China's mainland coastline, it will have no direct impact on China's nearshore waters or land in the short term.
Public Attention and Alerts
Today, public attention has focused mainly on wind and rain precautions for the coastal areas of East China and Taiwan. Many places in Jiaxing, Zhejiang, and parts of Shanghai have successively issued Blue Typhoon Warning Signals. Meanwhile, Taiwan's meteorological authorities have issued Special Reports for Strong Winds on land, reminding multiple areas to guard against strong winds and precipitation.
Additionally, some information circulating online claims that a typhoon named "DOLPHIN" is affecting Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai. It is important to note that some weather information circulating online is generated by automated programs, which may contain inaccuracies or lack timeliness. We advise everyone to verify the source of information to avoid being misled by fabricated content.
Safety and Preparedness Tips
Although the distant typhoon does not directly affect China at present, coastal and other regions should remain vigilant against localized severe convective weather. Offshore operation platforms and vessels should closely monitor the latest meteorological changes and strictly implement wind protection and sheltering measures. Residents in coastal areas should minimize outdoor activities during periods of strong winds and beware of falling objects from heights.
Weather systems are complex and variable; please refer to the official warnings issued by the CMA (China Meteorological Administration) and local governments.
