Typhoon Dolphin has grounded hundreds of flights as it approaches eastern China, according to the South China Morning Post. The storm's impact on air travel is significant, with many flights cancelled or delayed. This disruption is a result of the typhoon's proximity to major cities in eastern China, including Shanghai.
The typhoon has already made landfall in Japan's Okinawa, and China has shut down ports in anticipation of the storm's arrival, as reported by Reuters. Additionally, the South China Morning Post notes that Shanghai is expected to enter the danger zone, leading to further flight chaos. The exact number of flights affected is not specified, but it is described as hundreds.
The typhoon's approach and landfall are significant due to the potential damage and disruption it can cause to major cities and populations in eastern China. The shutdown of ports and grounding of flights are precautionary measures to minimize the risk of injury or loss of life.
