Today's Typhoon Situation Overview
The northwestern Pacific is currently displaying an active “three-typhoon” pattern. Typhoon No. 13, “DOLPHIN,” is steadily approaching the coastal areas of East China, bringing severe wind and rain. Meanwhile, No. 15 “CHAN-HOM” and No. 16 “PEILOU” are active over the open ocean and have yet to pose a direct threat to land.
Analysis of Active Typhoons
Typhoon No. 13, “DOLPHIN”: Currently a strong typhoon, it is centered 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, making its way deep inland by the morning of the 12th and degenerating into a tropical depression.
No. 15 “CHAN-HOM” and No. 16 “PEILOU”: Both are tropical storms, located over the ocean at 150.8°E and 143.4°E, respectively. “CHAN-HOM” is moving north-northwest, while “PEILOU” is rapidly heading east. Forecasts indicate that both will weaken into tropical depressions over the sea in the coming days, with no direct impact on China’s offshore waters.
Public Interest and Attention
Public attention today is strongly focused on the complex weather impacts brought by “DOLPHIN.” Red typhoon warnings have been issued in several parts of East China, including Huzhou and Lishui in Zhejiang. Yellow and blue warnings have also been issued in parts of Anhui, Jiangxi, and Fujian. Heavy rain has fallen in the mountainous areas of northern Taiwan, placing immense pressure on flood-control efforts. In addition, the subsiding air surrounding “DOLPHIN” has brought extreme heat to southern China, with temperatures in parts of Guangdong breaking August records. The impact of the typhoon on travel has also sparked widespread discussion, and several tourism platforms have urgently launched order-protection measures for disaster-affected areas.
Defensive and Safety Measures
Coastal areas of East China and Taiwan should closely monitor wind and rain developments, reinforce structures vulnerable to strong winds in advance, and guard against flash floods and geological hazards triggered by heavy rainfall. Southern China should take measures to prevent heat-related illness and guard against high-temperature heat waves. Travelers heading to affected areas should promptly check for updates to transportation arrangements and adjust their itineraries accordingly.
