CHINA FLOOD CRISIS: Typhoon Dolphin Triggers Widespread Flooding Across Eastern China
Aug 12, 2026
Typhoon Dolphin's remnants triggered widespread flooding and heavy rain across eastern and central China, prompting authorities to reinforce riverbanks, operate reservoir sluice gates and mobilise tens of thousands of emergency personnel. Floodwaters submerged streets in Taizhou, Zhejiang, while rising rivers and reservoirs prompted evacuations and emergency preparations in Henan, Anhui and other provinces. Shanghai moved more than 215,000 people from high-risk areas, while Beijing deployed more than 23,000 personnel and more than 2,000 vehicles and machines as the storm's residual circulation continued to bring heavy rain further north.
