Typhoon Bot original · 2026-08-13 · More typhoon news · live track map
On August 13, the typhoon situation in the Northwest Pacific and China's coastal waters featured a mix of new formations and lingering remnants. Although a new typhoon has formed in the open ocean, the residual circulation of a previous typhoon affecting China continues to cause widespread precipitation, maintaining high flood control pressure in many parts of central and eastern China.
Analysis of Active Typhoons and Residual Circulations
The 17th typhoon of the year, "Nangka," formed today. Its center is currently located at 25.8°N, 148°E, with a central pressure of 998 hPa and maximum sustained winds of 18 m/s. It is moving northeast at 18 km/h. It is expected to gradually turn toward the deep open ocean, posing no direct impact on China's coastal waters.
Meanwhile, the residual circulation of the discontinued 13th typhoon, "Dolphin," remains the "main character" on today's weather stage. After moving deep inland, its residual vortex retains strong rain-producing capabilities. Coupled with a westerly trough system, it continues to bring widespread heavy rainfall to the Huang-Huai region, Jianghan Plain, Jianghuai region, and northern Jiangnan. Some areas have even recorded record-breaking torrential rain. Additionally, Typhoon Chan-hom (No. 15) and Typhoon Peilou (No. 16) are both active in the open ocean and have no impact on China.
Public Concerns and Social Focus
Recent meteorological disasters have sparked widespread discussion across society. Public attention is mainly focused on the following aspects: First, the persistent heavy precipitation caused by Dolphin's remnants has raised high alert among residents in many inland areas regarding urban waterlogging and geological disasters in mountainous regions. Second, post-disaster recovery and agricultural loss mitigation in coastal areas are key concerns, such as losses from pond overflow in aquaculture in Taizhou, Zhejiang, and residents' concerns about window and door safety in Wenzhou. Finally, the safety protection of outdoor workers during extreme weather has also become a hot topic, with new injury assistance policies for new employment groups introduced in places like Suzhou receiving praise and attention from netizens.
Meteorological Defense Tips
Flood and typhoon prevention work remains in a critical period. Areas experiencing heavy inland rainfall must continue to guard against secondary disasters such as flash floods, mudslides, and urban and rural waterlogging caused by persistent precipitation. Relevant departments should strengthen inspections of river embankments and hazard troubleshooting. In coastal areas affected by the typhoon, vigilance must be maintained even as wind and rain subside, ensuring the proper evacuation of displaced persons and conducting comprehensive safety checks.
Weather conditions change rapidly; please refer to official warnings issued by the CMA (China Meteorological Administration) and local governments.
