Typhoon Dolphin Threatens Eastern China Coastline, Active Tropical Cyclone Season Forecast

Typhoon Dolphin, the 13th named storm of the year, is churning across the western Pacific and is expected to threaten China's eastern coastline later this week. Forecasts suggest a potential landfall around Sunday, August 9, between the Yangtze River estuary and Zhejiang province, bringing strong winds and heavy rain to Shanghai and the provinces of Zhejiang, Jiangxi, and Anhui. An alternative scenario involves the storm turning north offshore. The China Meteorological Administration warns of an active tropical cyclone season in August for the Western North Pacific and South China Sea.
