August 30 Typhoon Roundup: SAUDEL's Remnant Brings Heavy Rain to South China
Typhoon Bot Original · 2026-08-30 Evening Edition · More Typhoon News · live track map
Overview of Today's Typhoon Situation
Typhoon activity over the northwestern Pacific and South China Sea remains frequent as late August begins. Influenced by El Niño, the number of typhoons generated this year has risen noticeably. There were three tropical cyclone systems active over the sea as of this evening. Although Typhoon No. 18, SAUDEL, has weakened, its remnant circulation is still bringing torrential rain to South China. Meanwhile, No. 22, ETAU, and No. 23, BANG-LANG, are moving northward together far out at sea and have no direct impact on China's coastal waters.
Analysis of Active Tropical Cyclones
Typhoon SAUDEL (tropical depression)
The center is currently located near 23.6°N, 111.4°E, with a central pressure of 998 hPa and maximum sustained winds of 12 m/s. It is moving south-southwest at 20 km/h and is expected to reach near 20.4°N, 110.4°E by early tomorrow morning. Although its intensity has fallen to that of a tropical depression, its circulation combined with abundant moisture continues to produce extremely heavy rainfall in Guangdong, Guangxi, southern Hunan, and other areas. High vigilance is required.
Typhoons ETAU and BANG-LANG (tropical storms)
Both systems are over remote ocean waters thousands of kilometers from China. ETAU has a central pressure of 998 hPa and is moving slowly toward the northeast, where it is expected to weaken into a tropical depression by tomorrow afternoon. BANG-LANG is slightly stronger, with a central pressure of 990 hPa, and is advancing toward the north-northwest at a faster pace. The future tracks of both systems will shift toward higher latitudes, and neither is expected to move westward and affect China.
Public Focus
Weather-related topics have continued to attract widespread attention recently. On the one hand, the public is curious about the clustering of typhoons this year, and educational content explaining how El Niño contributes to typhoon formation has drawn broad interest. On the other hand, residents across parts of South China are closely monitoring the extreme rainfall brought by SAUDEL, while flood-control coordination by transportation departments has become a major focus. In addition, the rapid restoration of normal operations in coastal water-based industries following the lifting of typhoon emergency responses in Zhejiang and other areas has also attracted attention.
Meteorological Safety Guidance
South China and southern Hunan should remain alert to urban and rural flooding, flash floods, and geological hazards caused by SAUDEL's remnant circulation. People should avoid traveling to mountainous areas and other hazardous locations whenever possible. Vessels conducting coastal operations and the relevant authorities need to closely monitor changes in sea conditions, including wind and waves.
Please refer to warnings issued by the CMA and local government authorities.
