China: Typhoon Dolphin prompts mass evacuation, canceled flights

Typhoon Dolphin made landfall in China on Sunday evening, marking the strongest storm to hit the country this year. The weather event has triggered mass evacuations and significant infrastructure disruptions, including the cancellation of nearly 1,500 flights in Shanghai.

Beyond the immediate impact in China, the storm has prompted flood alerts in parts of Beijing. The typhoon previously caused flooding in the Philippines before moving toward the Chinese coast, where it continues to affect regional activity despite signs of weakening.
