Overview of Today’s Typhoon Situation

On August 12, overall typhoon activity in the Northwest Pacific was easing. This year’s 16th typhoon, “PEILOU,” was active over the open ocean and gradually weakening, with no direct impact on China’s coastal waters. Domestic meteorological attention was focused primarily on the continued heavy rain caused by the remnant circulation of the 13th typhoon, “DOLPHIN,” after it weakened and was discontinued, as it combined with cold air and brought persistent rainfall to many parts of central and eastern China. Attention was also focused on the impact of the 15th typhoon, “CHAN-HOM,” on Japan’s Kanto region.

Analysis of Active Typhoons

This year’s 16th typhoon, “PEILOU,” is currently located over the Northwest Pacific at 28°N, 161.3°E. Its central pressure is 998 hPa, and its maximum sustained wind speed is 18 m/s, making it a tropical storm. “PEILOU” is moving north-northeast at 25 km/h. According to the official forecast, it will reach approximately 30.2°N, 163°E at 17:00 on the 12th and weaken into a tropical depression. Because its track is heading northeast and it remains far from China, it will not bring wind or rain impacts to China’s coastal areas.

In addition, the 15th typhoon, “CHAN-HOM,” made landfall in Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan, on the evening of the 11th, bringing strong winds to the area. Although the 13th typhoon, “DOLPHIN,” weakened and was discontinued over Hubei, its remnant vortex continued moving northward.

Public and Media Focus

Based on recent media coverage, public attention has focused on three main aspects:

First, the destructive potential of typhoon remnant circulations. Although “DOLPHIN” has been discontinued, its remnant system combined with cold air, producing widespread heavy rainfall in the Yangtze River Delta, Central China, and the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. In some cities, including Suzhou, severe water accumulation drew public attention to urban drainage capacity.

Second, delays in risk prevention. As places such as Nanjing lifted their emergency responses to typhoons, the public began to focus on post-disaster recovery. However, meteorological experts warn that the discontinuation of a typhoon does not mean the danger has immediately passed. Risks such as geological disasters triggered by heavy rain often peak with a delay.

Finally, community mutual assistance and safety education during severe weather. From financial institutions working together to respond to the typhoon to auxiliary police officers wading through floodwaters to carry residents to safety, the positive actions of all sectors have provided hope and warmth. At the same time, personal safety and evacuation guidance for typhoon conditions became a trending topic online.

Meteorological Defense Reminders

Although no typhoon is currently expected to make landfall directly in China, the risk of heavy rain inland remains severe. Northern China, as well as the Huang-Huai and Jiang-Huai regions, should remain alert to continued rainfall and the potential for secondary disasters, including urban and rural waterlogging and landslides. Coastal areas should not relax their guard simply because a typhoon has been discontinued; safety inspections along the coast must continue.

Finally, readers are reminded that weather conditions can change at any moment. Please follow the warnings issued by the CMA and local government authorities.
