Typhoon Bot original · 2026-10-23 evening edition · More Typhoon News · live track map
Overview of Today's Typhoon Situation
On the evening of October 23, typhoon activity in the northwestern Pacific remained active. This year's 30th typhoon, “CHAMPI,” is gradually approaching China's southeastern coast, with its strong winds and heavy rainfall becoming the focus of today's meteorological developments. As the powerful autumn typhoon advances, many coastal areas in East China have rapidly activated typhoon emergency plans to protect public safety and property.
“CHAMPI” Movement and Trend Analysis
As of the evening of the 23rd, severe typhoon “CHAMPI” was centered at 24°N, 123.2°E, with a minimum central pressure of 950 hPa and maximum sustained winds of 45 m/s. It was moving west-northwest at 12 km/h.
Looking ahead, “CHAMPI” will first affect Taiwan and the coastal areas of East China before gradually turning. The official forecast indicates that its center will reach approximately 32.2°N, 129.2°E at 16:00 on the 26th and weaken into a tropical depression. This suggests that “CHAMPI” will later turn northeastward and move into the northern East China Sea. Although it will not make landfall directly in inland East China, its vast outer circulation will continue to bring prolonged windy and rainy conditions to the coastal areas of Zhejiang, Shanghai, and Jiangsu.
Public Attention and Local Responses
The public's main concern today is how long the impacts from wind and rain will last and how to guard against secondary disasters. Taiwan's meteorological authorities have issued sea and land warnings, with many areas included in the storm's wind circle. On the mainland, multiple districts in Shanghai and many parts of Nantong, Jiangsu, have issued blue typhoon warnings in quick succession. Relevant authorities are working to clear drainage networks and stockpile emergency rescue supplies. In places such as Wenzhou, Zhejiang, and Fenghua, Ningbo, emergency response levels for typhoon prevention have been raised, while fire and rescue forces have fully assembled and are ready for deployment. Meteorological authorities have also warned that the typhoon's outer circulation will increase precipitation across parts of northern China over the weekend.
Safety Precautions
Autumn typhoons often have complex tracks and broad areas of impact. Residents in coastal and affected areas should minimize outdoor travel and properly secure outdoor objects that could be blown away by the wind. Visitors to seaside or mountainous areas should closely monitor weather changes and remain alert to storm surges and geological disasters.
Please refer to warnings issued by the CMA and local government authorities.
