Typhoon Bebinca forecast to cause major impact in China

    Thanh Hà |

    The latest storm forecast says the path of new typhoon Bebinca will pass over oil refineries in Shanghai, Ningbo, China.

    Typhoon Bebinca is expected to make landfall on China’s east coast early on September 16, threatening to unleash heavy rain that could disrupt refineries, LNG terminals and disrupt transportation in China, according to Bloomberg’s latest typhoon report. Typhoon Bebinca is known as Beibijia in China.

    Typhoon Bebinca is now more than 1,000 kilometers (620 miles) off the coast of China. The latest storm to make landfall in the western Pacific comes shortly after Typhoon Yagi claimed several lives and caused widespread damage across the region, including Hainan Island and southern China, as well as northern Vietnam.

    Typhoon Bebinca also comes as China prepares for the three-day Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, which begins on September 15. Severe weather is likely to disrupt travel and impact consumption in China, Bloomberg noted.

    The projected path of Typhoon Bebinca is taking it to coastal areas between China's Zhejiang and Fujian provinces, meaning the latest storm in the western Pacific could potentially shut down the port of Zhoushan and refineries in Ningbo.

    According to the latest typhoon forecast from the China National Meteorological Center, Typhoon Bebinca is expected to have wind speeds of up to 162 km/h.

    Typhoon Bebinca is currently forecast to make landfall in mainland China as a Category 2 storm on the 5-point Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale. China's weather agency forecasts that Typhoon Bebinca will weaken rapidly after making landfall.

    According to the latest storm information from the Philippine state weather agency PAGASA, as of the afternoon of September 12, Typhoon Bebinca was outside the Philippine forecast area. PAGASA forecasts that Bebinca may enter the Philippine forecast area on September 13 and has been locally named Ferdie.

    Typhoon Bebinca was last located 1,885 km east of Northern Luzon, Philippines, with maximum sustained winds of 100 km/h and moving north at 35 km/h.

    When it enters the Philippines' forecast area, Bebinca will become the sixth storm to affect the country during the 2024 typhoon season.
