Tropical Storm Dolphin moved inland over eastern China on Monday after striking Zhejiang province near Taizhou with winds of about 93 mph. Authorities continued warning about flooding and landslides as heavy rain crossed the region. More than 300,000 people were relocated before the storm reached China.

Shanghai’s two major airports canceled more than 1,300 flights during the disruption. Emergency crews in Yueqing checked inundated homes and removed fallen trees and branches. Dolphin had also produced heavy rain in northern Taiwan before entering mainland China.

Tropical-cyclone categories describe maximum sustained wind and do not measure every rainfall or surge hazard. Moving a large coastal population before landfall reduces exposure but creates shelter, transport and return-management demands. Monsoon circulation can extend a storm’s rainfall effects well outside the forecast center line. The immediate Chinese response combined preventive relocation, transportation shutdowns and local rescue work. Damage totals were not complete, and the effects of canceled flights and flooded roads would be measured separately from wind damage.

In the Philippines, monsoon rain intensified by the system contributed to deadly flooding and a landslide in Baguio. Philippine authorities reported deaths, missing people and tens of thousands displaced after days of severe weather. A separate tropical system was also being monitored near Japan, so regional impacts did not come from a single weather event. In the Philippines, officials were still searching for missing people and counting displaced residents. Attribution to Dolphin is limited to the storm’s contribution to the monsoon pattern rather than treating every regional rainfall event as a direct cyclone strike.

The reporting available at the edition deadline did not resolve this point: china had no final loss estimate, and Philippine search operations and casualty totals were still changing. The next dated records are Zhejiang river and landslide alerts and updated Philippine search and displacement figures.
