September 15 Typhoon Roundup: DUJUAN Brewing Far Offshore as Autumn Typhoons Draw Attention
Original by Typhoon Bot · 2026-09-15 · More Typhoon News · live track map
Today's Typhoon Overview
At present, there are no active typhoons in the Northwest Pacific or South China Sea, and overall sea conditions are relatively calm. However, a tropical disturbance is quietly developing far offshore, with the embryo of a new typhoon taking shape beneath the calm surface, signaling the potential for increased autumn typhoon activity.
Offshore Tropical Depression and Autumn Typhoon Facts
Although no officially named typhoon currently exists, an offshore tropical depression east of Guam, formerly tropical disturbance 90W, is developing and strengthening. Meteorological authorities predict that the system may receive an official name and become this year's 25th typhoon, DUJUAN.
Mid-September marks the peak of the autumn typhoon season. Compared with summer typhoons, autumn typhoons often benefit from the arrival of cold air and the accumulation of oceanic heat, making them more likely to rapidly intensify to severe typhoon or even super typhoon strength. Historically, many notable autumn typhoons have brought violent wind and heavy rain to coastal areas. We therefore need to keep a close watch on DUJUAN as it develops.
Public Focus
Recent meteorological discussions have centered on several key issues. First, the public is highly concerned about the weather during the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, particularly whether the new typhoon could disrupt travel and moon-viewing plans. Second, attention is focused on the lingering effects of the autumn heat and the approaching cooler weather, with high temperatures in central and eastern China contrasting with autumn rain in western China. Finally, rainfall in southern China, including Guangdong, is under scrutiny, as the peripheral circulation of the potential typhoon could trigger prolonged heavy rain. DUJUAN's peak intensity and whether it could become another typhoon forming far offshore are also widely debated.
Preparedness and Response
With an autumn typhoon approaching formation and complex weather conditions expected, residents of coastal and potentially affected areas should closely monitor meteorological updates. Although DUJUAN is still far offshore and its track remains highly uncertain, autumn typhoons can change course quickly and intensify rapidly. Vessels operating in relevant waters should return to port and seek shelter promptly, while coastal fish farmers should prepare for strong winds. Inland areas should remain alert to secondary hazards that may result from heavy rainfall.
Weather conditions can change at any moment. Please rely on the CMA and official warnings issued by local authorities.
