Overview of Today's Typhoon Situation
Today is August 11, 2026. As of this evening, there are three typhoon systems active in and around China. Among them, the 13th typhoon of the year, "DOLPHIN," has weakened into a tropical depression and moved deep inland, bringing wind and rain to many areas. Meanwhile, over the Northwest Pacific Ocean, the 15th typhoon "CHAN-HOM" and the 16th typhoon "PELLEW" are both active and are expected to gradually move westward and eastward, respectively.
Analysis of Active Typhoon Dynamics
Typhoon DOLPHIN (202613): Currently weakened to a tropical depression, with its center located at 31°N, 115.1°E. The central pressure is 998 hPa, and the maximum wind speed is 15 m/s. It is moving northwest at 37 km/h and is expected to reach the vicinity of 32.2°N, 113.3°E by 20:00 tonight, maintaining tropical depression intensity. Its residual circulation will continue to bring precipitation to inland areas.
Typhoon CHAN-HOM (202615): A tropical storm located at 36°N, 141.2°E, with a central pressure of 998 hPa and maximum wind speeds of 18 m/s. Currently moving west at 44 km/h, it is expected to reach the vicinity of 35.7°N, 135.4°E by 05:00 tomorrow morning, weakening into a tropical depression.

Public Concerns and Hot Topics
Recent meteorological topics have remained highly discussed, with public attention focused on several key aspects. First is the rare track and prolonged stagnation of "DOLPHIN." Related assessments indicate that its impact on Zhejiang reached an extremely severe level, sparking heated discussion about its "sharp turn" and sluggish movement speed. Second, there are questions regarding rainfall distribution; many residents in Hubei are puzzled as to why heavy rainstorms occurred in Xiangyang and Shiyan when the typhoon center was in Huanggang. Additionally, as "DOLPHIN" moves deeper inland, multiple cities in Anhui, including Suzhou, Chuzhou, Hefei, and Bengbu, have issued dense typhoon warnings, while Shandong and other regions remain on high alert. Finally, meteorological departments predict that several more typhoons are likely to form in August, drawing significant attention to subsequent developments.
Meteorological Defense Tips
Although "DOLPHIN" has weakened, the abundant moisture it carries continues to interact with inland weather systems. Areas such as Anhui need to be highly vigilant against urban and rural waterlogging and geological disasters caused by persistent heavy rainfall. The two typhoons at sea currently have no direct impact on China's coastal waters, but their path evolution requires continuous monitoring. Weather during the flood season is complex and changeable; please stay informed.
Please refer to official warnings from the CMA (China Meteorological Administration) and local governments.
