China: the Storm Brought Heavy Rain and Strong Winds, Triggering Flood and Landslide Warnings

More than 1 million people have been evacuated in eastern China as Typhoon Dolphin, the strongest tropical cyclone to hit the country this year, made landfall on the coast of Zhejiang province, according. The storm brought heavy rain and strong winds, triggering flood and landslide warnings. Transportation was disrupted in Shanghai and neighboring provinces, with 60 percent of flights canceled in Shanghai.

Ports halted maritime traffic and hundreds of ships were moved to sheltered waters. Rainfall is expected to continue inland until August 10, raising flood risks on rivers. Authorities urged residents in red-alert areas to strictly follow evacuation orders.

Some residents said they view typhoons as a routine part of daily life on China's southern coast. The storm prompted widespread precautions, with over 1 million people moved to safe areas. (09.08.2026) — Diken via.
