Transportation and classes were suspended and more than 1 million people in Shanghai and other cities of East China's Zhejiang Province were evacuated on Wednesday as the country moved to its highest tropical cyclone alert level for Typhoon Muifa, the strongest typhoon to land in China so far in 2022.
 

The storm is expected to hit 12 provinces and cities with severe gales and rainstorms.
 

Experts warned of potential damage and disasters brought by Muifa due to the long time and large range of its influence, but noted that it can also relieve the severe drought that some regions along the Yangtze River have suffered because of the continuous high temperatures.
 

China's National Meteorological Center (NMC) on Wednesday morning issued the first red alert for a typhoon in 2022 as Typhoon Muifa approached East China.
 

Around 8:30 pm on Wednesday, Muifa landed in the coastal regions of Zhoushan in Zhejiang Province, with the maximum winds near the center being 42 meters per second, and the minimum pressure at the center being 960 HPA, which makes it the strongest typhoon to land in China so far this year.
 

It is expected to make a second landfall along the coast from Pinghu in Zhejiang to Pudong in Shanghai around Wednesday midnight.
 

Gales and rainstorms are expected to affect the East China region for at least three days and further move toward Northeast China. A total of 12 provinces and regions are expected to be affected. Cumulative rainfall in some areas is expected to reach 50 millimeters to 150 millimeters between Wednesday and Friday, with some parts hitting 350 millimeters or more.
 

台风“梅花”或将波及12省份

今年第12号台风“梅花”将于9月14日下午至夜间在浙江温岭到舟山一带沿海地区登陆(台风级或强台风级)。
 

专家表示,台风“梅花”强度很强,具有风雨影响时间长、影响范围大、与天文大潮叠加潮位高等特点,是一个威力不容小觑的秋台风。中央气象台已将台风预警提升至橙色预警,仅次于最高级的红色预警。
 

目前“梅花”为强台风级别,靠近陆地时强度还将加强,并可能会深入内陆,受台风北侧倒槽和冷空气的结合影响,风雨将波及台湾、福建、江西、浙江、上海、安徽、江苏、山东、河北、河南(东部局地)、辽宁、吉林等12个省市,甚至不排除在江苏北部、山东局地的降雨比登陆点附近还强的可能。
