Typhoon Bot Original · 2026-08-24 Evening Edition · More typhoon news · live track map

Overview of Today's Typhoon Situation

A rare spectacle of "four typhoons dancing together" is unfolding today across the Northwest Pacific and the South China Sea. Four tropical cyclones are active simultaneously. Among them, "Jangmi" made landfall in Fujian at noon, while "Zitan" is lingering near the Beibu Gulf, imposing severe flood control pressures on many parts of South China.

Analysis of Active Typhoons

Super Typhoon "Shanshan": Currently located over the Northwest Pacific Ocean, with a maximum central wind speed of 52 m/s. It is moving west-northwest at 21 km/h. It is expected to weaken into a tropical storm by the end of the month and approach the southeastern coast of China. Continuous monitoring of its later path adjustments is required.

Tropical Storm "Zitan": Located in the northern South China Sea, with a maximum central wind speed of 23 m/s. This system is "spinning" near the Beibu Gulf with slow movement. It is expected to make landfall along the coasts of Guangdong and Guangxi tomorrow evening. The persistent heavy rainfall it brings has made the flood control situation in Guangxi extremely severe.

Tropical Depression "Jangmi": After making landfall in Quanzhou, Fujian, at noon today, it is currently moving west-northwest at 15 km/h, with its intensity continuing to weaken. Under its influence, many areas in Fujian are experiencing intense rainstorms, with extremely high accumulated rainfall in local areas.

Tropical Storm "Etau": Located over the distant ocean, moving north at 18 km/h. Its intensity is relatively weak, and it is expected to weaken into a tropical depression tomorrow. It currently has no direct impact on China's coastal waters.

Public Concerns

Meteorological topics have generated significant public interest today, focusing on three main points: first, the rare phenomenon of "four typhoons dancing together" and the climatic reasons behind it; second, the extreme heavy rainfall brought by "Jangmi" after its landfall in Fujian and the corresponding flood control response; third, the disaster risks posed by "Zitan" along the coasts of Guangdong and Guangxi, with residents in Hainan, Guangxi, and other places maintaining high alert regarding typhoon warnings.

Defense Tips

In the face of the complex typhoon situation, the southeastern coast and South China regions must guard against strong winds and heavy rain. Areas in Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, and Hainan should closely monitor the impact of wind and rain, prepare for waterlogging in low-lying areas, and defend against geological disasters. Vessels operating at sea should return to port promptly to take shelter from the wind.

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