By July 29th, Typhoon Doksuri grazed Taiwan before making its way toward the coastal Chinese province of Fujian. In theory, the island of Taiwan acts as a strong barrier to extreme weather, blocking Pacific typhoons from reaching the southeastern Chinese coast.
This year’s Typhoon Doksuri followed this pattern, bypassing Taiwan and making landfall in Fujian.
With winds reaching 191 kilometers per hour or 118 miles per hour, it became the second-strongest typhoon in the province’s history.
It’s also one of the strongest typhoons to hit southeast China in the last century.
How did it impact China? Mainland media reported that in some parts of the country, the amount of rainfall that would have normally spanned about two years came down over the space of two days.

Typhoon Doksuri has seriously affected China, making landfall on the eastern coast and causing extensive flooding in the southern region. Afterward, its lingering currents continued northward, bringing extreme rainfall and affecting an estimated 130 million people. More than one million people had to be evacuated in an emergency. No one expected that its landing in southern China would cause extreme rainfall thousands of miles away in places like Beijing, Tianjin, and Hebei Province. Reports by Chinese official media showed that the Forbidden City was inundated with water
