Typhoon Bot Original · 2026-08-22 Evening Edition · More typhoon news · live track map
Overview of Today's Typhoon Situation
On the evening of August 22, the Northwest Pacific and South China Sea presented a complex scenario of "three typhoons dancing." The 18th typhoon of the year, "Saudel," the 19th typhoon, "Zitan," and the newly formed 20th typhoon, "Jangmi," were all active. Among them, "Zitan" is directly affecting the coastal areas of South China. The China Meteorological Administration (CMA) has issued dual warnings for typhoons and heavy rain and activated a Level IV emergency response, making flood and typhoon prevention efforts critical.
Detailed Analysis of Active Typhoons
Typhoon No. 18 "Saudel": Currently located over the Northwest Pacific Ocean, with maximum sustained winds near the center reaching 40 m/s, classified as a typhoon. It is moving northwest at 24 km/h and is expected to continue strengthening in the coming days, likely developing into a severe typhoon by the 27th. As it is far from mainland China, there is no direct impact at present.
Typhoon No. 19 "Zitan": Located over the Beibu Gulf, with maximum sustained winds near the center of 18 m/s. Influenced by both "Zitan" and the southwest monsoon, heavy to torrential rain, with locally extreme rainfall, is expected in Hainan, southern Guangxi, Guangdong, Fujian, and Zhejiang. "Zitan" is expected to gradually weaken into a tropical depression.
Typhoon No. 20 "Jangmi": Formed today in the East China Sea, currently classified as a tropical storm, moving slowly westward at 8 km/h. It is expected to approach the eastern coast of Taiwan Island and weaken into a tropical depression by the 24th. Caution is advised regarding the wind and rain impacts on Taiwan and the eastern coastal areas of China.
Public Focus Points
Today's meteorological topics have generated significant public interest, primarily focusing on three aspects: first, the naming science and real-time track inquiry for "Zitan"; second, the frequent generation of typhoons this year, with the annual "quota" already exceeded ahead of schedule, sparking discussions on the activity level of autumn typhoons; and third, under the background of multiple active typhoons, precautions against extreme rainfall and emergency response measures in South China, East China, and even the Shandong Peninsula.
Safety and Defense Tips
Facing the combined influence of multiple systems, South China and the southeastern coastal areas must strictly guard against urban and rural waterlogging, flash floods, and geological disasters caused by heavy rainfall. Vessels operating at sea should return to port promptly to seek shelter, and coastal scenic spots need to implement safety controls. Please closely monitor the latest weather forecasts when traveling and minimize unnecessary outdoor activities.
Please refer to the official warnings issued by the China Meteorological Administration (CMA) and local governments.
