Typhoon Dolphin Hits China and Japan, Potentially Influences India's Monsoon Patterns
Typhoon Dolphin, the most powerful tropical cyclone to hit China this year, made landfall near Yuhuan in Zhejiang province on August 9 with sustained winds of around 151 kmph, causing evacuations and flooding risks across eastern China. The storm also affected Japan's Okinawa prefecture earlier. Meanwhile, its activity in the Pacific is linked to atmospheric changes that may weaken India's monsoon by disrupting weather patterns over the Bay of Bengal, though the Pacific can sometimes also trigger monsoon systems.
