Typhoon Dolphin is approaching the east coast of China following its passage over northern Taiwan, where it generated torrential rainfall. The impact of the storm caused significant disruptions, including the cancellation of over 1,300 flights in Shanghai. Authorities implemented evacuation measures, moving hundreds of thousands of residents from areas susceptible to flooding and landslides.
The outer bands of the typhoon made landfall in northern Taiwan on Saturday, bringing heavy rains, particularly to the capital, Taipei. Consequently, some Taiwanese airlines suspended flights to China on Sunday. The storm reached a maximum wind speed of approximately 162 km/h on Sunday morning.
The weather system, characterized by torrential rains and heightened risks of major flooding and landslides, is forecasted to make direct contact with China’s Zhejiang province and the northern sections of neighboring Fujian province on Sunday. Chinese meteorologists are monitoring the storm’s path as it nears the mainland. The approach of Typhoon Dolphin necessitates continued vigilance from local governments regarding potential severe weather impacts across the region.
