13 times the size of Zhejiang: China deploys drones, AI as Typhoon Dolphin nears coast

China's coastal provinces are preparing for the potential landfall of Typhoon Dolphin, the fourth typhoon of the summer. The storm, which has grown to nearly 13 times the size of Zhejiang province, is expected to make landfall between Zhejiang and northern Fujian between Sunday afternoon and Monday morning. Authorities have implemented emergency measures, including suspending ferry routes, halting construction, evacuating fishermen, and deploying drones for surveillance. The National Meteorological Centre issued a yellow alert, warning of strong winds and heavy rainfall across multiple provinces. State broadcaster CCTV reported that an AI forecasting system is being used to predict the typhoon's path and impact for up to 240 hours. Officials emphasized that inland residents should also take precautions due to the storm's wide wind radius, with potential heavy rain affecting several provinces.
