台风海豚正在逼近中国东部沿海地区，最大持续风速约162公里/小时，阵风可达216公里/小时[2]。中国当局已启动国家三级应急响应[1][3]，预计风暴将于周日晚间至周一早期登陆浙江舟山至福建福鼎一带[2][3]。
为应对这场风暴，浙江和福建两省已采取多项防护措施。浙江提高沿海台风警报至最高级别，暂停162条客运渡轮路线[2]，宁波栽山国际机场自周六晚11:30起停止运营并于周日暂停所有航班[2]。全国范围内，学校、旅游景点和渡轮等水上活动已被关闭[1]。浙江部分地区可能降雨超过600毫米[2]。中央气象台已发出台风橙色预警[3]，官方部门强调要做足各项防御准备，以应对灾害风险的不确定性[3]。
台风已先行登陆日本，对日本南部造成影响[2]。日本冲绳撤离中心收容了240人[2]，5名老年人报告遭受非生命威胁伤害[2]，约14,000栋建筑停电[2]，那霸机场因此关闭并取消所有国内外航班[2]。此外，台湾有63班国际航班被取消[2]。
中国东部地区面临暴雨、洪水和泥石流风险，上海也在风暴路径内[1]。
Typhoon Dolphin is advancing toward China's eastern coast with maximum sustained winds of approximately 162 kilometers per hour (101 miles per hour), accompanied by gusts reaching 216 kilometers per hour.[2] The storm is expected to make landfall between late Sunday and early Monday in the region spanning from Zhoushan, Zhejiang to Fuding, Fujian.[3] Chinese authorities have activated a national Level 3 emergency response—the second-lowest alert tier—and have begun implementing protective measures across the affected areas.[1][3]
The typhoon's impact has already been felt upstream. In Japan, Typhoon Dolphin struck southern regions on Saturday, August 8, 2026, resulting in casualties and widespread power outages.[2] Okinawa's evacuation centers have accommodated 240 people, five elderly residents reported non-life-threatening injuries, and approximately 14,000 buildings lost power.[2] Naha Airport was forced to close, resulting in the cancellation of all domestic and international flights.[2]
Preparing for the storm's arrival in China, authorities have suspended ferry services and implemented port closures. Zhejiang Province has elevated its coastal typhoon warning to the highest level and suspended 162 passenger ferry routes.[2] Ningbo Qishan International Airport halted operations starting Saturday at 11:30 p.m. and suspended all flights on Sunday.[2] Schools, tourist attractions, and water-based activities have been shut down across the region.[1] In Zhejiang and Fujian provinces, officials have convened meetings emphasizing personnel evacuation and risk assessment as primary defensive tasks.[3] Some areas in Zhejiang may experience rainfall exceeding 600 millimeters.[2]
The storm's approach has also triggered political tensions. Taiwan cancelled 63 international flights in preparation.[2] China has issued directives requiring vessels transiting the Taiwan Strait to comply with its traffic control orders, prompting Taiwan's Mainland Affairs Council to respond: "This is completely absurd!"[2] The council asserted that China has no authority to restrict passage through international waters.[2]
