August 22 Typhoon Overview: Three Storms in Action as Southern China Braces for Severe Wind and Rain
Typhoon Bot Original · 2026-08-22 Evening Edition · More Typhoon News · live track map
Today's Overall Typhoon Situation
On the evening of August 22, the northwestern Pacific and South China Sea presented a complex scenario with three tropical cyclones active simultaneously. This season's 18th typhoon, SAUDEL; 19th typhoon, NARRA; and newly formed 20th typhoon, GAENARI, were all active. NARRA is directly affecting the coastal areas of southern China. The CMA has issued both typhoon and rainstorm warnings and launched its Level IV emergency response, while the situation remains critical for flood control and typhoon preparedness.
Details on Each Active Typhoon
Typhoon SAUDEL (202618): Currently over the northwestern Pacific, with maximum sustained winds near the center reaching 40 m/s, making it a typhoon. It is moving northwest at 24 km/h and is expected to continue strengthening over the next few days, developing into a severe typhoon by the 27th. As it is still far from China's mainland, it currently poses no direct threat.
Typhoon NARRA (202619): Located over the Beibu Gulf, with maximum sustained winds near the center of 18 m/s. Combined with the southwest monsoon, it is expected to bring heavy to torrential rain to Hainan, southern Guangxi, Guangdong, Fujian, Zhejiang, and other areas, with isolated locations facing extreme rainstorms. NARRA is expected to gradually weaken into a tropical depression.
Typhoon GAENARI (202620): Formed over the East China Sea today, it is currently at tropical storm intensity and moving slowly westward at 8 km/h. It is expected to approach the eastern coast of Taiwan and weaken into a tropical depression on the 24th. Its potential wind and rain impacts on Taiwan and the coastal areas of eastern China warrant close attention.
Public Focus
Typhoon weather is today's most closely followed meteorological topic, with public attention focused on three main areas: first, the naming background of NARRA and access to its real-time track; second, the unusually frequent formation of typhoons this year, with the annual generation target already exceeded ahead of schedule, sparking discussion about the potential for active autumn typhoon seasons; and third, precautions against extreme rainfall and emergency response measures across southern and eastern China, as well as the Shandong Peninsula, while multiple tropical cyclones remain active.
Safety and Precautions
With several weather systems exerting a combined influence, southern China and the southeastern coastal areas must remain vigilant against urban and rural flooding, flash floods, and geological disasters caused by heavy rainfall. Vessels engaged in offshore operations should return to port and shelter from severe winds as soon as possible, and coastal scenic areas should implement appropriate safety controls. Travelers should closely monitor the latest weather forecasts and minimize unnecessary outdoor activities.
Please refer to the CMA and official warnings issued by local governments.
