Typhoon Dolphin struck China's eastern coast on Sunday, resulting in the cancellation of over 1,300 flights at Shanghai's two airports. Prior to making landfall in Taizhou, Zhejiang province, the typhoon had already caused heavy rains in northern Taiwan, prompting the cancellation of several flights there. In the Philippines, five individuals were rescued and seven remained missing following a landslide triggered by days of intense monsoon rains, which were exacerbated by Dolphin's impact.
The storm brought strong winds of up to 151 kph (93 mph) and massive waves to Taizhou's coastline, raising concerns of severe flooding in the region. Authorities have warned of potential landslides in Zhejiang, where they have already evacuated over 420,000 people, primarily in the city of Taizhou. Shanghai also evacuated more than 30,000 residents from high-risk areas.
Forecasters predict that the storm will bring 200-400 millimeters (7.9-15.7 inches) of rainfall to affected areas over the next few days.
