Today's Typhoon Situation Overview
On the evening of August 28, typhoon activity remained frequent over the Northwest Pacific and waters near China. This year's 18th typhoon, “SAUDEL,” continued moving westward and gradually moved deeper inland, further expanding the range of its wind and rainfall impacts. Meanwhile, two new typhoons formed over the distant ocean, bringing the total number of typhoons generated in August this year to 21, far exceeding the historical average for the same period.
Analysis of Active Typhoons
Typhoon “SAUDEL” (202618)
Currently located near 27.3°N, 119.3°E, with a maximum sustained wind speed of 23 meters per second at its center, it is moving westward at 24 kilometers per hour. It is expected to weaken into a tropical depression by tomorrow afternoon and reach the border area of Jiangxi and Hunan. Today, its main circulation brought significant wind and rainfall to the coastal areas of Zhejiang and Fujian. Its remnants will continue to affect Jiangxi, Hunan, Yunnan, and Hainan in the following days, bringing heavy rainfall.
Typhoons “ETAU” (202622) and “BANG-LANG” (202623)
Both are located over the distant ocean, with maximum sustained wind speeds of 20 meters per second and 18 meters per second at their centers, respectively. Over the next few days, they will move in a generally northerly direction and gradually weaken into tropical depressions. Because they are relatively far away, neither system will have a direct impact on China's coastal waters or land.
Public Focus on the Situation
In recent days, warnings have been issued frequently in various regions, and the public has closely followed the continued wind and rainfall impacts that “SAUDEL” may bring to inland provinces after weakening. In particular, typhoon blue warnings have been issued in several parts of Jiangxi, and preventing secondary disasters caused by heavy rainfall has become a major focus. In addition, the number of typhoons generated in August this year has far exceeded the long-term average for the same period. Many members of the public have expressed concern about the unusually active conditions in the oceans and have discussed the causes of frequent extreme weather and possible response strategies.
Meteorological Defense Reminders
Southern Zhejiang, northern Fujian, Jiangxi, and other areas should remain alert to the continued strong wind and rainfall brought by “SAUDEL,” taking precautions against flash floods, geological disasters, and urban and rural waterlogging. Coastal areas should watch for the water-level rise caused by the combined effects of storm surges and astronomical tides. Please closely monitor weather changes and reduce unnecessary outdoor activities.
