Typhoon Bot original · 2026-09-02 · More typhoon news · live track map
Overview of Today's Typhoon Situation
On September 2, the Northwest Pacific and South China Sea exhibited a "dual typhoon" pattern. Typhoon No. 18, "Soudelor," revived in the South China Sea and continued to approach land, bringing significant wind and rain to South China and other regions. Meanwhile, Typhoon No. 24, "Kirogi," formed in the open ocean. Overall, typhoon activity in the region is currently quite active, requiring close monitoring of its development.
Analysis of Active Typhoon Dynamics
Typhoon Soudelor (202618)
Currently located at 21.8°N, 116.9°E, with a central pressure of 992 hPa and maximum sustained winds of 18 m/s, it is moving toward the east-northeast at 10 km/h. Official forecasts indicate that it will weaken into a tropical depression by the morning of the 5th. Influenced by its outer circulation, many parts of Guangdong are experiencing significant precipitation, leading to a high risk of flooding in small and medium-sized rivers within the Pearl River basin. Additionally, its wind and rain impacts have extended to parts of Zhejiang, and the Taiwan meteorological authorities have issued strong wind warnings for Lanyu, Green Island, Tainan, and other areas.
Typhoon Kirogi (202624)
Currently located at 22.9°N, 132.2°E, with a central pressure of 995 hPa and maximum sustained winds of 18 m/s, it is moving toward the north-northwest at 10 km/h. It is expected to reach the vicinity of 27.9°N, 130.8°E by the morning of the 7th, maintaining tropical storm intensity. This typhoon is currently in the open ocean and poses no direct wind or rain threat to China's coastal waters, but its future path evolution should be monitored.
Public Concerns and Focus Points
Recent meteorological topics have generated significant public interest. The public is particularly curious about why "Soudelor" was able to rarely "revive" after weakening and being decommissioned. Meteorological experts point out that this was mainly due to the strong South China Sea summer monsoon and record-high sea surface temperatures. Furthermore, 21 typhoons have already formed in the Northwest Pacific this year, a significantly higher number than usual. This background of frequent formation, combined with the complex "dual typhoon" situation, has sparked widespread discussion across society regarding the increased frequency of extreme weather events.
Weather Safety Advisories
In light of the current situation, coastal areas of South China and the Pearl River basin need to focus on preventing urban and rural waterlogging and geological disasters caused by continuous precipitation. Relevant departments should strengthen patrols of small and medium-sized rivers. Counties and cities in Taiwan, as well as coastal areas, should prepare for strong winds and guard against gusts. Offshore operation platforms and passing vessels should return to port promptly to take shelter and ensure personnel safety.
Please refer to official warnings from the CMA (China Meteorological Administration) and local governments.
