Original by Typhoon Bot · 2026-09-28 · More Typhoon News · live track map
Overview of Today's Typhoon Situation
On September 28, typhoon activity in the Northwest Pacific remains active. This year's 26th typhoon, "Surigae," has stabilized at the severe typhoon level after a previous rapid intensification. As its track becomes clearer, the typhoon is steadily advancing toward the waters south of Japan, with its overall intensity expected to enter a weakening phase soon. Meanwhile, the severe disaster caused by the previous typhoon, Dujuan, in Japan continues to unfold, and meteorological departments are closely monitoring the subsequent development of the new typhoon.
Analysis of Active Typhoon Dynamics
This Year's 26th Typhoon "Surigae" (Severe Typhoon Level)
- Current Location and Intensity: The center is located near 26.7°N, 130.9°E, with a minimum central pressure of 945 hPa and maximum sustained winds reaching 48 m/s, maintaining severe typhoon status.
- Movement Trend: Currently moving east-northeast at 17 km/h. According to the latest official forecast, it is expected to reach the vicinity of 32.4°N, 141°E around 20:00 on September 30, by which time its intensity will significantly weaken to that of a tropical storm.
- Affected Areas: It will gradually approach the waters south of Japan. While there is no direct landfall threat to China's coastal waters, its vast outer circulation may still have indirect impacts on weather in some southern regions.
Public Concerns and Focus Points
Based on today's meteorological information from various regions, public attention is mainly focused on the following three aspects:
- Changes in Track and Intensity: People are closely watching the deflection of Surigae's path and its trend of weakening after intensification, particularly its specific approach toward the Nansei Islands and Honshu Island of Japan.
- Local Weather Changes in China: Residents in Fujian and other areas are very concerned about the cooling and rainfall effects brought by the typhoon's outer circulation, hoping it will alleviate the previous high temperatures and muggy weather.
- Disaster in Japan and Disaster Prevention Concerns: As the 25th typhoon, Dujuan, just caused serious casualties in Chiba, Kanagawa, and other places in Japan, the public is highly concerned about the compounded wind and rain impacts that Surigae may bring to Japan.
Meteorological Defense Tips
Although Surigae will not make direct landfall in China, coastal areas and parts of the south still need to guard against gusts and rainfall triggered by its outer circulation. Vessels operating at sea should return to port in time to take shelter from the wind. For Japan, there is a need to be highly alert to secondary disasters such as mudslides and floods caused by the superposition of continuous typhoon rainstorms, and to take preventive measures in advance.
Finally, readers are reminded that typhoon paths and intensities change rapidly. Please refer to the official warnings issued by the CMA (China Meteorological Administration) and local governments.
