Typhoon Bot Original · 2026-08-09 Evening Edition · More typhoon news · live track map
Overview of Today's Typhoon Situation
The Northwest Pacific is currently experiencing an active period with "three typhoons dancing." Typhoon No. 13 "DOLPHIN" is strongly approaching the coastal areas of East China, bringing severe wind and rain challenges. Meanwhile, Typhoon No. 15 "CHAN-HOM" and Typhoon No. 16 "PELLEAS" are active in the open ocean and do not currently pose a direct threat to land.
Analysis of Active Typhoon Dynamics
Typhoon No. 13 "DOLPHIN": Currently at severe typhoon intensity, its center is located at 28.1°N, 121.4°E, with a central pressure of 940 hPa and maximum sustained winds of 45 m/s. It is moving westward at 17 km/h. It is expected to gradually weaken, moving deep inland and diminishing to a tropical depression by the morning of the 12th.
Typhoon No. 15 "CHAN-HOM" and No. 16 "PELLEAS": Both are at tropical storm intensity, located over the ocean at 150.8°E and 143.4°E respectively. "CHAN-HOM" is moving north-northwest, while "PELLEAS" is moving rapidly eastward. Forecasts indicate that both will weaken into tropical depressions over the sea in the coming days, with no direct impact on China's coastal waters.
Public Sentiment and Key Concerns
Public attention is highly focused on the complex weather impacts brought by "DOLPHIN." Many places in East China, such as Huzhou and Lishui in Zhejiang Province, have issued red typhoon warnings, while parts of Anhui, Jiangxi, and Fujian provinces have issued yellow or blue warnings. Heavy torrential rain has occurred in the northern mountainous areas of Taiwan, significantly increasing flood control pressure. Additionally, affected by the subsiding airflow on the periphery of "DOLPHIN," South China is experiencing extreme heat, with temperatures in many parts of Guangdong breaking August records. Furthermore, the impact of the typhoon on travel has sparked widespread discussion, with several travel platforms urgently activating order protection guarantees for disaster-affected areas.
Defense and Safety Tips
Coastal areas of East China and the Taiwan region need to closely monitor wind and rain developments, reinforce structures susceptible to being blown away in advance, and guard against flash floods and geological disasters caused by heavy precipitation. South China needs to take measures for heatstroke prevention and cooling, remaining vigilant against heatwaves. Travelers heading to affected areas should promptly pay attention to traffic adjustment information and arrange their itineraries reasonably.
For specific wind and rain forecasts and warning information, please refer to the official warnings from the CMA (China Meteorological Administration) and local governments.
