Typhoon Dolphin struck eastern China on Sunday evening, prompting authorities to move more than one million people to safety from Shanghai and other areas. China’s weather authority said the storm first made landfall in Yuhuan, Zhejiang province, at about 5:30 p.m. local time, with maximum winds of 150 kilometres per hour. About an hour later, it made a second landfall in the city of Wenzhou.
Transport across the region was severely disrupted after the typhoon hit the coast. About 1,400 flights were cancelled in Shanghai alone. Authorities had earlier issued the highest-level red alert for Dolphin, but downgraded the warning to a tropical storm on Monday morning.
The storm is moving farther inland, while authorities have maintained warnings through Wednesday over risks of torrential rain, severe flooding and landslides. Heavy rain is forecast on Monday in Shandong, Henan, Hubei, Anhui, Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, as well as Shanghai. Local administrations urged residents to stay indoors unless necessary. Parts of Shanghai Disneyland and Legoland, along with several tourist sites and observation platforms in the Bund area, were closed.
