As Typhoon Dolphin tracks toward China’s eastern coastline, regional authorities have begun emergency preparations, including the evacuation of residents in vulnerable areas. The storm, which intensified overnight, is currently packing sustained winds of 162 km/h, posing a significant threat to travel and infrastructure in the region.

In response to the severe weather conditions, aviation officials have grounded more than 1,600 flights. The cancellations are expected to cause widespread disruption for travelers across the eastern provinces. While the storm's exact path remains a focus for meteorologists, the immediate priority for local governments is the safety of citizens in the storm's projected trajectory. Emergency services remain on high alert as the typhoon continues its approach, with further disruptions to transportation and public services likely as the weather deteriorates.
