It is estimated that Du will move northeast at a speed of about 20 kilometers per hour and gradually weaken into a tropical depression.

From 3rd 14 to 4th 14, there were heavy rainstorms in southern Heilongjiang, western and northern Jilin, and central and eastern Liaoning, among which there were heavy rainstorms in parts of southeastern Heilongjiang and northern Jilin (100 ~ 180mm), accompanied by short-term heavy rainfall (the most severe).

Although it weakened before landing, the landing intensity is still second only to Typhoon Moranti (14) No.2016, making it the second strong typhoon that landed in Fujian since the complete observation record, and tied with Typhoon 1980.

The peak intensity of Du reached the super typhoon level (above 62m/s, 17); There is a binocular wall structure with clear boundaries between inner and outer eye walls; The sea level pressure observed when buoy No.2 in the Strait passed through the typhoon eye area was 930.9 hectopascals, which was the lowest sea level pressure observed since the meteorological record was recorded in the Taiwan Province Strait. At the same time, gusts above 17 (6 1.3 m/s) were observed.

When landing, the maximum wind force near the center of Dusuri was15 (50m/s, strong typhoon level), which was the second strong typhoon landing in Fujian after 1949 (Morante, second only to 20 16), and the maximum wind force near the center was 16,52 when landing.
