Typhoon Bot original · 2026-08-24 · More typhoon news · live track map

Overview of Today's Typhoon Situation

Today (August 24), the Northwest Pacific and South China Sea are witnessing a complex "triple typhoon dance." This year's 18th typhoon "SHADEL," 19th typhoon "ZITAN," and 20th typhoon "JANLAVI" are all active simultaneously. The interaction among these multiple systems has increased uncertainty in future weather patterns, making the overall situation for flood and typhoon prevention still severe.

Analysis of Active Typhoon Dynamics

"SHADEL" (Super Typhoon): Currently centered at 23.5°N, 137.3°E, with a central pressure of 935 hPa and maximum sustained winds of 52 m/s. It is moving west-northwest at 30 km/h. It is expected to gradually weaken over the sea and may affect the eastern coastal areas of China as a tropical storm around the end of the month.

"ZITAN" (Tropical Storm): Centered at 20.5°N, 107.7°E, with a central pressure of 990 hPa and maximum sustained winds of 23 m/s. Its earlier stagnation in the Beibu Gulf caused extreme rainfall in Guangxi. It is expected to move northward and weaken into a tropical depression by the 27th, with wind and rain impacts gradually subsiding.

"JANLAVI" (Tropical Depression): Centered at 24°N, 119.1°E, with a central pressure of 1000 hPa and maximum sustained winds of 15 m/s. It is moving west-southwest at 10 km/h and is expected to approach the coasts of Fujian and Guangdong this afternoon. With weak intensity, it will mainly bring localized shower precipitation.

Public Concerns and Focus

Recently, the public has focused heavily on the frequent generation of typhoons this year and the rare causes behind the "multiple typhoons dancing together." Meanwhile, the catastrophic rainfall and secondary disasters in Guangxi triggered by "ZITAN"'s stagnation in the Beibu Gulf have drawn significant attention. Coordinated rescue efforts by multiple departments and post-disaster recovery progress have become social hot topics. Additionally, warnings of huge waves along the coast have raised public concerns about the safety of coastal tourism and offshore operations.

Meteorological Defense Tips

Guangxi and other affected areas need to remain vigilant against the lagged effects of heavy rainfall, strictly preventing mountain floods and geological disasters. Southern and southeastern coastal regions should monitor the impact of waves, and vessels engaged in offshore operations should return to port promptly to seek shelter from the wind.

Please refer to official warnings issued by the CMA (China Meteorological Administration) and local governments.
