Overview of Today's Typhoon Situation
On October 26, typhoon activity in the Northwest Pacific and South China Sea entered a new phase. Typhoon No. 30, “CHAMPI,” which had previously affected China’s eastern coastal areas, has gradually weakened and ceased to be tracked, with multiple localities ending their typhoon emergency responses one after another. Meanwhile, this year’s No. 31 typhoon, “IN-FA,” has formed over the open ocean and is moving west-northwest. In the short term, it will have no direct impact on China’s offshore waters.
Analysis of Active Typhoons
This year’s No. 31 typhoon, “IN-FA” (severe tropical storm), is centered at 13.9°N, 163.9°E, with a minimum central pressure of 980 hPa and maximum sustained winds of 30 m/s. It is moving west-northwest at 9 km/h. According to the CMA, “IN-FA” is expected to intensify gradually, reaching super typhoon strength by 05:00 on October 31, when its center is forecast to be over the ocean at 19.5°N, 142.5°E. “IN-FA” is currently located over the Pacific Ocean east of Saipan, Guam, and is far from China. For now, it will not bring wind or rain impacts to China’s offshore waters.
Public Focus
As “CHAMPI” moves away, public attention is focused on two main issues. First, significant rain and temperature drops affected Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai, and parts of southern China under the combined influence of “CHAMPI” and cold air. The severe weather has now largely subsided across these areas, temperatures are gradually falling, and multiple localities have officially ended their typhoon emergency responses. The public is now focused on the resumption of normal travel and improving weather conditions. Second, the formation of the new typhoon “IN-FA” has sparked widespread curiosity about autumn typhoons. Many coastal residents are wondering whether it will approach the South China Sea or pose a threat to China’s offshore waters.
Weather Defense Reminders
Although “IN-FA” is currently far from China, autumn typhoons often have complex tracks and can change in intensity rapidly. Ships operating along the coast and in the open ocean should closely monitor information on strong winds at sea and make appropriate arrangements for navigation and operations. After the effects of “CHAMPI” have ended, inland areas should remain alert to fog that may occur in some places during the morning and take steps to ensure road safety during the morning rush hour.
