Typhoon Today - the second storm in the East Sea of the 2025 typhoon season - made its second landfall in Dong Thau area, Wenzhou city, Zhejiang province (Eastern China) on the evening of June 8.
Zhejiang Meteorological Station (China) said that the center of the storm made landfall at 9:25 p.m. (local time) with the strongest wind of about 23 m/s (equivalent to level 9).
Zhejiang provincial authorities issued a flash flood warning early on the morning of July 8, when meteorologists forecast rainfall of 100mm to 250mm to fall along a 650km long strip of land, stretching from Phuc Chau (the capital of neighboring Fujian province) to Hangzhou, the capital of Zhejiang province.
After sweeping through Zhejiang, Typhoon No. 2 today is expected to move into Jiangxi Province - where the terrain of rolling hills and mountains is permeable, making this area especially vulnerable to severe flooding. The storm will weaken into a tropical depression.
The Thai Meteorological Department informed that a low pressure area is currently covering Laos and the northern part of Vietnam, while the southwest monsoon is at an average level operating in the Andaman Sea, Thailand and the Gulf of Thailand.
These conditions are expected to cause localized heavy rain in many places. People, especially in mountainous areas and low-lying areas, are advised to be on guard against flash floods and rising water due to accumulated heavy rain.
Although storm Today does not directly affect the weather in Thailand, Vietnam, etc., the storm is expected to enhance the activity of the southwest monsoon, causing increased rainfall and rough seas in the area.
According to the rain forecast from the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, from the night of July 9 to July 10, the mountainous and midland areas of the North are likely to experience moderate rain, heavy rain and thunderstorms, locally very heavy rain. Rainfall is generally forecast to reach 30-70mm, in some places over 150mm. Notably, rain can occur with high intensity, exceeding 100mm within 3 hours.
From the evening and night of July 10 to July 12, the Northern region will continue to be affected by moderate rain, heavy rain and thunderstorms, with the risk of very heavy rain occurring in some places. The rainfall in this period is generally from 70-150mm, in some places over 300mm, accompanied by a warning of heavy rain that could exceed 150mm in 3 hours. From July 13 onwards, heavy rain in the North will tend to decrease, but it is still necessary to be on guard against the possibility of tornadoes, lightning, hail and strong gusts of wind during thunderstorms.
Typhoon Today made its first landfall in Jiating County, Taiwan (China) around the night of July 6 to the morning of July 7.
Due to the impact of the storm, 710,000 households on the island had power outages and more than 300 flights were canceled. The high-speed railway line on Taiwan has also reduced its frequency of operation.
Thousands of tourists have been stranded on Taiwan's off- coast islands such as Australia, Japan and Japan as ferry and flight trips have been canceled.
Tourists should closely monitor weather information that is regularly updated by the national meteorological agency and check announcements from airports, wharves, and airlines about flight cancellations or delays.
