The China Meteorological Administration has recognized Super Typhoon Yagi as the most powerful autumn typhoon to hit China since 1949.
Yagi, the 11th typhoon of the year, sustained its super typhoon status for 64 hours and inflicted considerable damage across various regions of China, according to the administration.
The 13th typhoon of the year, Bebinca, made landfall in Shanghai around 7:30 a.m. on September 16, while Pulasan, the 14th typhoon of the year, struck east China's Zhejiang Province at roughly 6:50 p.m. on September 19, as reported by provincial authorities. The peak wind speeds recorded near the centers of these typhoons reached 42 and 25 meters per second, respectively.
Data analyzed by the CMA Tropical Cyclone data center for the Western North Pacific Basin from 1949 to 2023 indicates that typhoons making landfall in China during the Mid-Autumn Festival are not uncommon, with severe and super typhoons accounting for over 20 percent of such cases. The average wind speed of autumn typhoons during this period has been 33.93 meters per second.
In comparison to summer typhoons, autumn typhoons generally produce stronger winds and lead to more significant economic losses. These storms tend to impact the southern regions of China the most, particularly areas like Guangdong, Hainan, Taiwan, and Fujian.
Following the recent impact of three typhoons on eastern and southern regions of the country, Chinese authorities have heightened their initiatives for flood prevention and control. Firefighters, emergency response teams, and cleanup crews have been fully mobilized to assist those affected by floods, restore transportation routes, and clear flooded areas.
As individuals, it is crucial to ensure the safety of yourself and your family. For guidance on how to respond during typhoons, refer to the following infographic outlining suggested actions to take.
