Typhoon Dolphin, the most powerful tropical cyclone to strike China this year, has made landfall along the country’s east coast and is battering Beijing with severe winds and heavy rainfall. According to China | The Guardian, the city is bracing for up to one‑third of its annual rainfall within a 24‑hour period.
The cyclone has brought intense winds and torrential rain, flooding roads and infrastructure across the eastern seaboard. Beijing authorities are preparing emergency measures to manage the expected deluge, while residents face significant disruptions. The storm’s intensity marks it as the strongest of the season to hit the region.
The event comes amid a broader pattern of tropical activity in East Asia, including a separate tropical storm that struck the Tokyo area and left thousands without power, as reported by the Associated Press.
