Typhoon Dolphin hits eastern China; 1,400 Shanghai flights cancelled
Typhoon Dolphin made landfall in eastern China on Sunday, displacing over a million residents, including those in Shanghai. The storm brought maximum wind speeds of 150kmph, prompting Chinese authorities to issue a red alert. Dolphin made a second landfall in Wenzhou an hour after its initial impact in Yuhuan, Zhejiang province.
The typhoon caused significant travel disruptions, cancelling 1,400 flights in Shanghai alone. Authorities had warned of potential flooding and landslides through Wednesday, despite the storm downgrading to a tropical system by Monday morning. Heavy rainfall was forecast to continue across several provinces, including Shandong, Henan, Hubei, Anhui, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang, as well as Shanghai.
Local governments urged citizens to stay indoors and avoid outdoor activities, with several major tourist destinations remaining closed, including parts of Disneyland and Legoland, as well as certain viewing platforms on Shanghai's Bund waterfront.
