Rare multiple typhoons have formed consecutively in the Northwest Pacific and South China Sea, with Southern China continuing to face heavy rainfall and severe flooding in Guangxi. Super Typhoon “Shader” is rapidly approaching the coastal areas of Zhejiang and Fujian.
As of 6 a.m. on August 26, the Beijing Central Meteorological Observatory has maintained a typhoon orange alert. Typhoon “Shader” (super typhoon level) entered the East China Sea in the early hours of that day, with its center located about 720 kilometers east of the boundary between Zhejiang and Fujian, maximum wind force reaching level 14, moving west-northwest at a speed of 15 kilometers per hour. It is expected to turn to the west-southwest from the night of the 27th to the morning of the 28th, making landfall along the coastal areas from Xiangshan, Zhejiang to Fuqing, Fujian.
Additionally, Typhoon “Zitan”, after making landfall in Hainan Province on the evening of August 25, landed twice on the 26th in Guangdong Province, with the latest landing in Zhanjiang, Guangdong.
According to the Guangdong Meteorological Observatory, the center of Typhoon “Zitan” (tropical depression level) landed again in the coastal area of Wuchuan City, Zhanjiang, Guangdong around 11 a.m. on the 26th, with maximum wind force near the center reaching level 6 (12 meters per second) and the minimum central pressure at 1000 hPa.
Affected by it, Guangdong experienced strong winds and heavy rain, with the maximum daily rainfall reaching 294.1 millimeters.
Before landing on the Chinese coast, Typhoon “Zitan” had already caused flooding in Guangxi. The water levels of multiple rivers in Guangxi continued to rise, with 14 rivers and 20 hydrological stations experiencing flood warnings. Three towns in Ningming County accumulated over 500 millimeters of rainfall from August 21 to 24.
The Naban Reservoir initiated emergency flood discharge, causing severe flooding in Fangchenggang, Chongzuo, Ningming, Longzhou, and other areas.
In addition, Typhoon “Jangmi” landed in Quanzhou, Fujian on August 24 noon, leading to heavy rainfall in the area, affecting coastal transportation and tourism activities.
Typhoon “Isangni” formed on August 24 but weakened to a low-pressure area (remnant low pressure) south of Iwo Jima in the Northwest Pacific on the morning of August 25, and its circulation structure has disintegrated.
The Beijing Central Meteorological Observatory ceased numbering Typhoon “Isangni” on the morning of August 25.
