September 30 Typhoon Overview: SURIGAE Downgraded to Tropical Storm; October Outlook
Typhoon Bot Original · 2026-09-30 · More Typhoon News · live track map
Today's Typhoon Situation Overview
As September draws to a close, typhoon activity in the Northwest Pacific remains active. The number of typhoons generated this year has reached 26, significantly more than in an average year, and their overall intensity has been relatively strong. As autumn progresses, the subtropical high gradually retreats southward, causing typhoons to form at more easterly longitudes. It is expected that one or two typhoons will still make landfall or significantly affect South China in October, so typhoon preparedness and flood control efforts must remain vigilant.
Analysis of Active Typhoons
The only active system currently at sea is Typhoon SURIGAE, the 26th typhoon of this year. As of the 30th, it had weakened to tropical storm intensity, with its center located at 29.3°N, 135.7°E. Its minimum central pressure was 990 hPa, and its maximum sustained wind speed was 23 m/s. Based on its movement, SURIGAE is gradually heading toward the sea southeast of Japan. Affected by cold air at high latitudes and relatively cool sea surface temperatures, it is expected to weaken further. In addition, a new tropical disturbance is developing over the Northwest Pacific, and Typhoon 27 may form within the next two days. Its subsequent track and development require continued monitoring.
Public Focus
Recently, the meteorological authorities' October climate predictions have sparked widespread discussion. The public's main concern is whether October typhoons affecting China will bring heavy rain and strong winds, given the substantial increase in the number of typhoons generated so far this year. News that an extremely strong El Niño event may form around November has also left many people curious about climate anomalies this winter and next spring, as well as the possible paths of typhoons. Meanwhile, recent prolonged heavy rainfall in neighboring countries such as Japan has also heightened public interest in the relationship between typhoons and extreme precipitation, as well as in scientific knowledge about the internal structure and evolution of typhoons.
Meteorological Defense and Safety Reminders
Although SURIGAE poses no direct impact to China's mainland, autumn typhoons have highly variable tracks and often combine with cold air, making it easy to trigger complex weather conditions. Vessels operating in the relevant waters should return to port promptly to avoid the storms. Coastal areas should monitor the strong winds and temperature drops expected from subsequent typhoons and cold air. Amid the complex and rapidly changing meteorological environment, everyone should closely follow the latest weather forecasts and make reasonable travel arrangements.
