Thousands of people have been evacuated as authorities prepare for the storm’s arrival, with hundreds of flights cancelled to ensure safety (illawarramercury.com.au).
In Japan, Typhoon Dolphin struck Okinawa on Saturday, injuring six people and cutting power to over 50,000 buildings. Five elderly individuals were affected, with three injured by strong winds, while another person was hurt in Kagoshima prefecture, according to local authorities (dawn.com).

The typhoon is expected to bring heavy rainfall and strong winds to China, increasing the risk of flooding and landslides. Emergency services are on high alert, with officials urging residents to follow safety protocols. The situation remains under close monitoring as the storm moves toward the mainland.
