- China issued a red alert and canceled flights at airports as Typhoon Dolphin approached its east coast, per Bloomberg.
- Beijing was drenched by heavy rains from Typhoon Dolphin ahead of the storm's full arrival, per Reuters.
- Okinawa, Japan saw an airport closure after Typhoon Dolphin hit parts of southern Japan, per AP News.
- Flood warnings were triggered along China's east coast in anticipation of Typhoon Dolphin's landfall.
Why it matters: A red alert — China's highest weather warning — plus flight cancellations show authorities expect severe disruption from Typhoon Dolphin beyond what southern Japan has already seen. With the storm simultaneously grounding travel in Beijing-area airports and Okinawa, tens of thousands of passengers across two major East Asian economies face delays in the coming days.
