As Typhoon Dolphin continues to batter eastern China from Sunday afternoon after making landfall, a new typhoon system, Peilou, the 16th typhoon of the year, formed in the western North Pacific on, creating a rare situation with three typhoons Dolphin, Chan-hom and Peilou active simultaneously.
The National Meteorological Center (NMC) issued its second typhoon red alert of the year on Sunday morning, weather.com.cn reported.
Under the influence of Typhoon Dolphin, Shanghai experienced significant winds and rainfall. As of 5 pm on Sunday, a total of 215,600 people had been relocated from high-risk areas across Shanghai, China Radio International (CRI) reported on Monday.
Shanghai put in place preparatory measures in response to strong winds and heavy rainfall created by Typhoon Dolphin. As of 5 pm on Sunday, waterlogging had been cleared at 155 of the city’s 181 reported waterlogged sites, with response teams from different departments working to address the remaining 26, according to CRI.
Meanwhile, air traffic across East China was seriously influenced by the weather system, with widespread flight cancellations at multiple airports.
More than 80 percent of flights at Shanghai’s Pudong and Hongqiao airports were canceled as of 6 pm on Sunday. Of Shanghai Pudong International Airport’s 889 scheduled arrivals, 760 were canceled, while 729 of 897 departures were grounded. At Shanghai’s Hongqiao International Airport, almost all 431 scheduled arrivals were canceled, while 342 of 431 departing flights were unable to depart.
Typhoon-related flight restrictions also impacted Southwest China’s Sichuan and Chongqing, prompting widespread cancellations of flights to and from the Yangtze River Delta.
A typhoon track and airport impact forecast map from aviation information platform Variflight.com revealed that as many as 44 airports were likley to be affected by Typhoon Dolphin between August 9 to 12.
According to China Meteorological Administration, Typhoon Dolphin has three notable characteristics.
First, it traveled a long distance across the open ocean, showing an unusually long lifespan. The typhoon formed near the International Date Line, and its track length before landfall exceeds 6,000 kilometers. Its period of activity is expected to exceed 15 days – three times that of a typical typhoon. It become the first typhoon on record to form near the International Date Line and made landfall in China with at least tropical-storm strength, Beijing News reported on Sunday.
Second, it underwent explosive intensification and remained at high intensity for an extended period. Within 48 hours of its formation, the typhoon rapidly strengthened into a super typhoon, reaching a peak intensity of 65 meters per second, making it the second-strongest typhoon of the year so far. It maintained super typhoon strength for as long as 5.5 days and has remained at typhoon strength or above for nine days, according to weather.com.cn.
Third, Typhoon Dolphin has an exceptionally large circulation, with a 7-level wind radius of 420 to 450 kilometers and a circulation diameter of about 1,300 kilometers. It is expected to bring more than three days of strong winds to the East China Sea and torrential rain across much of East China, with local rainfall exceeding 600 millimeters at some places. Authorities urge the public to guard against flash floods and geological hazards and avoid coastal, mountainous and river-valley areas, weather.com.cn.
Typhoon Peilou formed at a tropical storm level. At 2 pm, the typhoon’s center was located over the western North Pacific, about 740 kilometers north-northwest of Saipan, Guam, packing winds of up to 65 kilometers per hour near its center, China Central Television (CCTV) reported on Sunday.
The name “Peilou” comes from China’s Macao, referencing a common migratory bird found in the region.
Typhoon Peilou is forecast to move rapidly eastward at a speed of 25 to 30 kilometers per hour, with its intensity gradually strengthening. It is expected to have no impact on China in the coming days, CCTV reported.
According to Zhou Guanbo, the chief weather forecaster at the National Meteorological Center (NMC), July to September is the peak season for typhoon formation, with August seeing the most storms form and make landfall in China.
Zhou said that typhoon activity reaches its peak in August, when the number of storms forming and making landfall in China is the highest of the year. Therefore, having three typhoons or two typhoons active at the same time is not unusual, Beijing News reported on Sunday.
According to Zhou, the Pacific entered an El Nino state in May 2026, with sea surface temperatures in the central and eastern equatorial Pacific continuing to rise. Compared with last year’s La Nina year, typhoons this year are expected to form farther east, allowing them to gain more energy and moisture over the open ocean.
This year, the number of typhoons that have formed and made landfall in July was higher than usual. Five typhoons formed over the western North Pacific and the South China Sea in July, three of which made landfall in China, Beijing News reported, citing the China Meteorological Administration.
In August, six to seven storms are forecast to form – above the long-term average of 5.6 – with two to three expected to make landfall in or significantly affect China, near the average of 2.3.
In August, one to two strong typhoons are expected to move northward into northern and northeastern China. Experts noted that even as the main body of these northward-moving typhoons weaken, their outer circulation and interaction with cold and warm air could trigger widespread extreme rainfall, which need heightened precautions, according to Beijing News.

根据加州最新公布的预算，目前州预算赤字来到了450亿美元，而这也让纽森不得不面带痛苦的提议削减开支：这将影响到移民群体，幼儿园儿童福利以及寻求儿童保育的低收入父母家庭。与之相对应的是加州的整体经济发展非常好，有着“世界第五大经济体”之称。根据加州的州审计报告，五年内加州政府总共花费了惊人的240亿美元，试图解决无家可归问题，但没有追踪这笔钱，是否真的帮助到该州不断增加的无家可归者。根据审计结果，加州政府在2018年至2023年期间，总共在30个项目上花费了数十亿美元，但没有收集任何数据来说明为什么这些现金没有解决无家可归人群的问题。如今“无家可归”的危机已经在加州失控，各大城市的帐篷营地和令人烦恼的流浪现象很糟糕，而且越来越严重。联邦数据显示，去年加州无家可归者人数猛增 6%，达到 18 万多人。自 2013 年以来，这一数字猛增了 53%。而整个加州居住着美国无家可归人口的近三分之一。州审计员格兰特·帕克斯在给州长加文·纽瑟姆和立法者的一封信中写道，“州必须采取更多措施来评估其无家可归者计划的成本效益。”审计人员调查了五个计划，这些计划总共获得了 137 亿美元的资金。他们发现，其中只有两种方案“可能具有成本效益”，其中一种将酒店和汽车旅馆的房间改造成住房，另一种有助于防止家庭无家可归。其余三个项目自 2020 年以来已获得总计 94 亿美元的资金，由于缺乏数据，无法进行评估。旧金山顾问托马斯·沃尔夫（Thomas Wolf）曾是无家可归的吸毒者，他称这一发现是“丑闻”。沃尔夫在 X上发帖称，“政府已经在无家可归问题上花费了数十亿美元，而且情况更糟。对于无家可归者服务而言，结果实际上意味着一切，毫不奇怪，他们没有数据。”对于一些人来说，审计证实了对“无家可归的工业综合体”的担忧——一个由资助者、官员、庇护所所有者和慈善机构组成的“利益输送链”，他们更热衷于吞噬公共资金，而不是解决问题。长滩市公布了其年度无家可归者人数，这是在经历了一年的无家可归紧急情况，并投入了联邦政府、州政府和地方纳税人超过6000万美元的情况下，长滩市的无家可归者人数出现了7年来的首次下降。长滩市长雷克斯·理查森（Rex Richardson）表示，该市的无家可归者人数下降了2.1%。这标志长滩正朝着正确的方向迈进。2024年1月，长滩市的无家可归者总数为3376人，相比之下，2023年为3447人，减少了71人。无家可归者权益倡导者克里斯汀·贝里（Christine Berry）表示：“我可以告诉你，这并不起作用，我们花费了数百万美元，但大多数人的生活并没有改善。
C | ”贝里认为，长滩市的努力失败了。在贝里看来，这一减少幅度微乎其微，只有71人。实际安置的无家可归者人数低得令人难以置信。
D | 根据长滩市的数据显示，在无家可归者紧急状态期间，该市仅让227人摆脱了无家可归的困境，实现了自给自足。目前，共有733人参加了永久性住房计划。
E | 长滩市的“住房优先”战略已经变成了一个旋转门，让太多有毒瘾和精神不稳定的人在没有接受治疗的情况下获得临时住房。贝里说：“如果在城市实施法律，给人们选择去戒毒所还是进监狱。根据我的经验，他们会选择康复中心。”随着无家可归人数的不断激增。过去几年中，随着盗窃、抢劫等犯罪率不断飙升，加州的州法《47号法案》受到不同族裔、不同党派民众的谴责，甚至成为全美各地人们眼中的治安“笑话”。根据2014年通过的《47号法案》，持有毒品、偷窃、商店盗窃、伪造支票等重罪都变成了轻罪；950美元以下的盗窃，即使罪犯屡次犯罪也无需入狱，也不会采集DNA标本。在今年的大选年，民间发起一项名为“减少无家可归、吸毒成瘾和盗窃法案”（Homelessness, Drug Addiction, and Retail Theft Reduction Act）的全州倡议，旨在修复《47号法案》制造出的混乱。
F | 只要在4月底征签到大约55万个有效选民签名，该倡议就可登上11月选票，进行全民公投。在的一个视频会议上，平等公义协会（OJE）主席李少敏说：“这是一项期待已久的倡议。在最近的一项调查中，超过70%的受访者支持这一倡议。
G | ”李少敏表示，只要签名数过关并将倡议成功送上选票，大多数选民都会投下“同意”票，更改现在极端恶化的的治安现状。他也因此呼吁加州选民在为数不多的时间内响应此次倡议，尽快签名。目前的加州，“零元购”、快闪抢劫、毒品过量死亡等案件层出不穷；毒贩、吸毒者、无家可归者随处可见，这也导致了零售公司纷纷离开加州，而造成这一原因的主要原因就是《47号法案》造成的，每个人都成了受害者。
H | 数据显示，2022年有近80万人离开加州，离开加州的原因除了生活成本高涨之外，治安恶化是另一个主要因素。
I | 在过去三年中，加州数十位议员至少推出了七个修复《47号法案》的相关解决提案，却都被州议会否决了，因此只能通过全民公投的方式改变现状。“减少无家可归、吸毒成瘾和盗窃法案”包含三个重点：1）任何持有鸦片和可卡因等硬性毒品的人都将被要求接受戒毒，否则将面临重罪指控；2）加强对毒贩特别是芬太尼毒贩的惩罚，旨在阻止进一步犯罪；3）任何因盗窃而被捕的人，无论盗窃金额大小，都将被视为重罪。约洛县（Yolo）检察官杰夫·赖西格（Jeff Reisig）在会议上说，这项倡议将修复《47号法案》制造出的一系列混乱，“这是两党共同努力的结果；2014 年通过的《47号法案》根本没有遵循预期所说的走向，我们州存在危机”。根据《47号法案》，无论出于何种目的吸毒都属于轻罪，这意味着没有人会被逮捕，只会收到一张罚单，没有人会被要求强迫接受戒毒治疗，这已经演变成一场人道危机。倡议要求吸毒者必须接受戒毒治疗，并不是以惩罚和监禁为目的，而是非常人性化地要求这些人接受良好的治疗，既能避免更多因毒品过量死亡的悲剧，也能减少吸毒成瘾者为毒犯罪或沦落为游民。李少敏提醒选民，州总检察长办公室将“减少无家可归、吸毒成瘾和盗窃法案”倡议更名为“允许对某些毒品和盗窃犯罪提出重罪指控并加重刑罚”（Allows Felony Charges and Enhanced Sentences for Certain Drug and Theft Crimes），并且撰写误导选民的选票概述，试图混淆选民的正确判断。这种手法与当年《47号法案》通过时的手法如出一辙。被视为“臭名昭著”的《47号法案》，当年在投票时被时任加州总检察长的贺锦丽写成了“安全社区和学校法”。许多选民后悔地表示，当初就是被这个名字误导才投下了赞成票。截至目前，要求修订加州《47号法案》的请愿书已征得逾30万个选民签名。同时该倡议还获得了加州民选官员、执法机构、企业等各方支持背书，包括加州32个县的地区检察官、14个县警署警长及众多执法机构、州警长协会（California State Sheriffs’ Association）、州地方检察官协会（California District Attorneys Association）、旧金山和圣荷西等多个城市市长，以及沃尔玛等企业。受够了游民遍地、打砸抢肆虐、毒品充斥社区的加州选民，可以在即将来临的11月份大选中作出改变。根据TIPP最近的一项民意调查显示，超过三分之二的美国成年人表示无家可归现象已经失控，官员们需要将那些露宿街头的人转移到城镇外的帐篷营地。调查显示，67% 的美国人厌倦了该国无家可归者数量的快速增加，并希望市长们采取严厉措施解决这一祸害。
J | 前总统特朗普将其作为连任竞选活动的一部分。特朗普竞选团队发布的一段有关无家可归者的视频中表示，“勤劳、守法的公民”被边缘化，被迫“为极少数身体不适的人的突发奇想而受苦”。他发誓要“禁止城市露营”，并在“廉价土地”上为无家可归者建造“帐篷城市”，并配备医生和社会工作者，帮助人们解决系统性问题。如今，无家可归者已经成为民主党内部的一道命门，如果解决不了加州的“帐篷”，那么纽森之后的白宫梦只会越来越远。
