Original by Typhoon Bot · 2026-09-18 · More Typhoon News · live track map
Today's Typhoon Situation Overview
Today is September 18, and typhoon activity in the Northwest Pacific has become active again. This year's 25th typhoon, “DUJUAN,” formed over open waters earlier this month. According to the latest monitoring data, “DUJUAN” will continue moving westward over the ocean in the coming days. Its overall track is eastward, so it will not bring direct wind or rain impacts to mainland China or its offshore waters. With the Mid-Autumn Festival approaching, everyone can go ahead with holiday travel and family visits with peace of mind.
Analysis of Active Typhoon Dynamics
The only active typhoon at sea is “DUJUAN” (202625). It has strengthened to severe tropical storm intensity today, with its center located at 25.4°N, 145.3°E. Its minimum central pressure is 982 hPa, and its maximum sustained wind speed is 28 m/s.
In terms of movement, “DUJUAN” is steadily moving westward at 22 km/h. According to the latest official track forecast, its center is expected to reach approximately 40.6°N, 149.8°E by 05:00 on September 22, while maintaining severe tropical storm intensity. Because it formed far from mainland China and its subsequent track will remain over waters south of Japan and farther east in the Northwest Pacific, it poses no threat to China's offshore waters.
Public Focus on the Typhoon
Recently, discussions about weather have heated up online, with the public's attention focused mainly on the following aspects:
First, the weather outlook during the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday. Since “DUJUAN” is tracking eastward, users across many regions have confirmed that the holiday weather will not be affected by the typhoon, putting their minds at ease.
Second, the broader climate background and seasonal transition. Some netizens have noted that El Niño is approaching an “extremely strong” state, leading to concerns about below-average temperatures this winter and the noticeably rapid arrival of cooler weather in southern China.
Finally, localized weather and lifestyle indicators. Residents of Zhejiang, Guangdong, and other places are closely following the recent rainfall schedule, the lingering effects of high temperatures, and the flowering period of osmanthus trees, which fill cities with fragrance. Many are looking forward to the beautiful days when autumn colors deepen.
Autumn Typhoon Preparedness and Safety Tips
Although “DUJUAN” will not directly affect China, autumn typhoon tracks are highly variable, so a degree of awareness remains necessary.
- Operations at sea: Vessels and personnel operating in relevant offshore areas must closely monitor typhoon developments and take timely measures to avoid risks.
- Holiday travel: During the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, autumn conditions are deepening across many areas, with larger temperature differences between day and night. When going out to enjoy local attractions, the public should adjust clothing appropriately to prevent colds.
- Stay alert to warnings: Autumn climate systems are complex. Residents across China should continue to follow closely the latest local weather forecasts.
Please rely on warnings issued by the CMA and local government authorities.
