Typhoon Dolphin hits China’s eastern coast and disrupts travel in Shanghai, where authorities cancel a large share of flights and evacuate residents. Multiple outlets report that Shanghai’s Hongqiao and Pudong airports cancel more than 1,300 flights, with cancellations reaching around 60% of expected departures and arrivals during Sunday as the storm makes landfall and brings heavy rain.
The storm also drives large-scale safety actions. Reports say more than 300,000 people are relocated in advance. Outside the mainland, the typhoon’s outer bands bring heavy rains to northern Taiwan after it had affected the region the day before. In the Philippines, a landslide in Baguio—triggered by days of monsoon rain intensified by Dolphin—leaves at least five people rescued and seven missing.
Outlets differ slightly in timing and flight figures: some describe Sunday cancellations of about 60% and total numbers over 1,300, while others cite Monday morning flight counts (642 cancellations at Pudong and 301 at Hongqiao) and notes that some trains begin to recover. Several reports also include estimated wind speeds at landfall in the roughly 150–162 kph range and warn of flooding and landslide risks in Zhejiang and Fujian.
