Shanghai cancels over 1,300 flights as Typhoon Dolphin hits China's eastern coast
Typhoon Dolphin hit China's eastern coast on Sunday evening after forcing over 300,000 people to preemptively relocate and Shanghai's two airports to cancel more than 1,300 flights.
Shanghai has canceled more than 1,300 flights as Typhoon Dolphin makes landfall on China's eastern coast, bringing strong winds and heavy rains. The storm intensified monsoon rains in the Philippines, leading to a landslide in Baguio that left five people rescued and seven missing. In Zhejiang Province, authorities have evacuated over 390,000 people and suspended ferries and cruises due to the risk of severe flooding.
Shanghai's Hongqiao and Pudong airports canceled about 60% of Sunday's flights, while Taiwanese airlines also halted services to mainland China. Forecasters predict 200-400 millimeters of rainfall over the next few days, with the outer bands of the storm already hitting northern Taiwan, including Taipei.
