中度台风白海豚将向西移动，登陆中国的概率较高。[1] 上海海事局已于今日启动4级防台应急响应，要求从8日起辖区内船舶调整航行计划驶往安全水域避风，并撤离非必要人员。[1] 台风预计以每小时20至25公里的速度移动，7日前对中国近海尚无影响，但8日起将开始对中国近海产生影响。[1]
根据中国气象部门的预测，台风白海豚可能在9日前后于长江口至浙江沿海登陆，或在10至11日登陆或擦过江苏东部至山东半岛沿海。[1] 中国近两个月来已有数个台风登陆，造成广西等地严重灾情。[1]
Shanghai Maritime Bureau activated a Level 4 typhoon emergency response on Saturday as Moderate Typhoon Baihaitun moves toward the East China Sea with a high probability of making landfall in China [1]. The bureau ordered all vessels in its jurisdiction to adjust their sailing plans and seek shelter in safe waters starting from August 8, while non-essential personnel were to be evacuated [1].
The typhoon is expected to move westward at a speed of 20 to 25 kilometers per hour [1]. According to China's meteorological authorities, the storm will have no impact on China's nearby seas before August 7, but will begin affecting coastal waters from August 8 onward [1]. Forecasters predict Baihaitun may make landfall near the Yangtze River estuary to Zhejiang coast around August 9, or alternatively impact or graze the coast from eastern Jiangsu to the Shandong Peninsula between August 10 and 11 [1].
