Typhoon Bot Original · 2026-08-26 Evening Edition · More typhoon news · live track map

Overview of Today's Typhoon Situation

This evening, as Typhoon No. 19 "Zitan" weakened and was decommissioned, the rare period of multiple simultaneous typhoons has officially come to an end. Currently, only Typhoon No. 18 "Soudelor" remains active in the Northwest Pacific and adjacent seas. Under the combined influence of Soudelor and the residual circulation of Zitan, South and East China are experiencing severe wind and rain. Compounding the situation is an astronomical high tide, making the overall typhoon defense posture extremely critical.

Analysis of Active Typhoon Dynamics

Typhoon No. 18 "Soudelor" is currently located over the East China Sea at 28.4°N, 126.4°E, with a central pressure of 955 hPa and maximum sustained winds of 42 m/s, maintaining its status as a severe typhoon. It is moving westward at 11 km/h and has entered the 24-hour warning zone, heading directly toward the coastal areas of Zhejiang and Fujian. According to official track forecasts, it is expected to gradually weaken in the coming days, reaching the vicinity of 25.61°N, 112.89°E by 16:00 on August 30, by which time it will have weakened into a tropical depression. Affected by its outer cloud bands, areas such as Shanghai will experience "stronger winds than rain," with coastal gusts reaching force 7 to 8.

Public Concerns and Focus Points

Currently, there is heightened public concern regarding the compounded disaster risks caused by the convergence of "wind, rain, and tide." As this period coincides with the monthly astronomical high tide, storm surges along the coast are significant. Many places in Zhejiang have urgently upgraded their typhoon emergency response levels, with some areas sequentially implementing the "Five Stoppages" measures, including suspension of work and classes. Meanwhile, information on transportation adjustments in the Yangtze River Delta region, such as high-speed rail suspensions and cancellations of high-speed ferry services, has become a hot topic for public inquiry and discussion.

Coastal Typhoon Safety Tips

Coastal areas of Zhejiang and Fujian, as well as related regions in East China, must prioritize prevention against urban waterlogging, seawater backflow, and geological disasters in mountainous areas triggered by the combination of strong winds, heavy rain, and astronomical high tides. Offshore operation platforms, passing vessels, and personnel involved in coastal aquaculture should promptly take measures to return to port for shelter. Residents are advised to minimize outdoor activities, secure outdoor items susceptible to wind damage, and stay away from billboards and temporary structures.

Please note that typhoon tracks and intensity changes are subject to uncertainty. Please refer to official warnings issued by the CMA (China Meteorological Administration) and local governments.
