Preparations were implemented across China’s eastern coastline in anticipation of a major typhoon’s approach, leading to the suspension of various work and transportation services along the predicted path. According to the China National Meteorological Center (NMC), the typhoon’s center moved directly over the coastline near the city of Yuhuan in Zhejiang Province. At the time of landfall, the NMC reported that maximum wind speeds near the center exceeded 150 km/h.
In response to the severe weather forecast, local authorities initiated large-scale protective measures. The city of Wenzhou, for instance, evacuated more than 1 million residents and opened more than 1,000 emergency shelters to ensure public safety. The impact on regional travel was significant, resulting in the cancellation of 1,400 flights operating to and from Shanghai’s two primary passenger airports.
The weather system’s effects were noted regionally, as Typhoon Dolphin brought heavy rainfall and strong winds to Okinawa, Japan, prior to reaching the mainland of China. These combined events required extensive coordination from meteorological agencies and local governments across the affected areas. The sustained vigilance and preparatory actions underscore the operational scale required when managing tropical weather systems impacting densely populated coastal regions of China.
