Is there a typhoon in Shanghai?

Yes, Shanghai will be affected by Typhoon Du Julie.

In 2023, Typhoon Du No.5 has been strengthened to super typhoon level. It is expected to land in the coastal area from central Fujian to eastern Guangdong on the morning of the 28th.

As the track of typhoon is uncertain, Shanghai may be affected by its peripheral circulation, and the following situations may occur: from the 27th to the 29th, Shanghai sometimes has showers or thunderstorms, with obvious characteristics of matrix precipitation, and short-term heavy precipitation may occur in some areas. During the day from 28th to 29th, there was windy weather in Shanghai. The southeast wind on land was 5, and the gust was 6-7, especially at sea.

From 27th to 29th, the temperature in Shanghai dropped slightly, with the highest temperature around 30℃ and the lowest temperature around 27℃. Therefore, the impact of Typhoon Du on Shanghai is mainly reflected in wind, rain and temperature.

Typhoon characteristics

"Du" tends to be stable as a whole, but there is also some uncertainty about whether the path is west or east. Generally speaking, it will land in the coastal area from central Fujian to eastern Guangdong with typhoon or strong typhoon level on the morning of the 28th. Forecasters usually compare several numerical models when judging the typhoon path.

In view of Du Surui, the Central Meteorological Observatory not only compared the CMA-TYM regional typhoon numerical forecasting model in China with the numerical models of european centre for medium-range weather forecasts and the National Environmental Forecasting Center in the United States, but also tried to refer to some AI meteorological model forecasting systems to judge the most likely trend of typhoons.

Typhoon Du Surui has a complete and compact structure. Compared with other typhoons with scattered cloud systems, its wind and rain influence range is relatively concentrated, but the rainfall and wind intensity in the area where the cloud system passes are relatively large.
