Typhoon Summary for August 30: Saudel's Remnants Bring Torrential Rain to South China
Typhoon Bot Original · 2026-08-30 Evening Edition · More typhoon news · live track map
Overview of Today's Typhoon Situation
As late August progresses, typhoon activity remains frequent across the northwestern Pacific and the South China Sea. Influenced by the El Niño phenomenon, the number of typhoons generated this year has been notably higher than average. As of this evening, three typhoon systems are active over the ocean. Among them, the 18th typhoon "SAUDEL," though weakened, continues to bring intense rainfall to South China through its residual circulation. Meanwhile, the 22nd typhoon "ETAU" and the 23rd typhoon "BANGLAMU" are moving northward together over the open ocean, with no direct impact on China's coastal waters.
Analysis of Active Typhoons
Typhoon "SAUDEL" (Tropical Depression)
Its center is currently located near 23.6°N, 111.4°E, with a central pressure of 998 hPa and maximum wind speed of 12 m/s. It is moving south-southwest at 20 km/h and is expected to be located near 20.4°N, 110.4°E by tomorrow morning. Although it has weakened to a tropical depression, its circulation combined with abundant moisture continues to produce torrential rain in Guangdong, Guangxi, and southern Hunan, warranting high vigilance.
Typhoons "ETAU" and "BANGLAMU" (Tropical Storms)
Both systems are located over the open ocean thousands of kilometers from China. "ETAU" has a central pressure of 998 hPa and is moving slowly northeastward, expected to weaken into a tropical depression by tomorrow afternoon. "BANGLAMU" is slightly stronger, with a central pressure of 990 hPa, advancing north-northwest at a relatively fast pace. Both systems are forecast to track toward higher latitudes and will not move westward to affect China.
Public Opinion Highlights
Meteorological topics have remained highly popular recently. On one hand, the public is curious about this year's "cluster" of typhoons, and science popularization about El Niño fueling typhoon generation has attracted widespread attention. On the other hand, residents across South China are closely tracking the extreme rainfall brought by "SAUDEL," with flood control operations in the transportation sector becoming a focal point. Additionally, as coastal provinces such as Zhejiang lift their typhoon emergency responses, the rapid recovery of maritime economic order has also attracted considerable attention.
Meteorological Defense Tips
South China and southern Hunan should continue to guard against urban and rural flooding, flash floods, and geological disasters triggered by "SAUDEL's" residual circulation. The public is advised to avoid dangerous areas such as mountainous regions. Vessels operating at sea and relevant departments should closely monitor changes in sea surface winds and waves.
Please refer to the official warnings issued by CMA and local governments.
