On August 7, reporters learned from the Central Meteorological Administration that this year's No. 13 typhoon "Baidolphin" is moving westward at a speed of 15 to 20 kilometers per hour, with little change in intensity or slight strengthening. It will pass through the Ryukyu Islands in the afternoon of the 7th and move into the East China Sea, gradually approaching the coast of East China. It is expected to make landfall along the coastal areas of northern Fujian to Zhejiang between the afternoon of the 9th and the morning of the 10th, bringing widespread wind and rain effects to the landing point and areas to the north. According to reports, "Baidolphin" strengthened this afternoon, with the maximum wind speed near its center increasing from level 14 to level 15. It is expected that its intensity may further increase in the next two days, potentially reaching super typhoon levels, but its strength will weaken again before making landfall.
