The reporter learned from the Shanghai Central Meteorological Observatory yesterday that this year's No.1 13 typhoon "Weipa" was strengthened into a strong typhoon at 6 o'clock yesterday evening and is "advancing" to the coastal area of Zhejiang. It is expected to land in central and northern Zhejiang from midnight today to daytime tomorrow. Because the landing site of "Weipa" is close to Shanghai, it is expected that "Weipa" may be the most serious typhoon affecting Shanghai in the past two years. Affected by "Weipa", there will be strong winds and heavy rain in Shencheng today.
path
Landing in north-central Zhejiang affects Shanghai.
This year'sNo. 13 typhoon "Weipa" was generated at 8: 00 on June 8 in the northeastern Philippines 1000 km, and then moved to the west-northwest direction. It intensified into a strong tropical storm at 20: 00 on June 16, and further intensified into a typhoon at 2: 00 am yesterday. At 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon, its center was located on the northwest Pacific Ocean about 760 kilometers southeast of Wenling, Zhejiang, which was 23.2 degrees north latitude and 126.3 degrees east longitude. Maximum wind force near the center13 (40m/s). Then the typhoon center moved to the west-northwest direction at a speed of 20 kilometers per hour. Although it didn't arrive until the middle and late September, it seems that "Weipa" is not satisfied with the level of "typhoon". At 6 o'clock yesterday evening, it further strengthened into a strong typhoon, with the maximum wind force in the center reaching 14.
Yi Fu, chief service officer of Shanghai Meteorological Bureau, said that judging from the "trend" of the typhoon, it is expected that "Weipa" will land in the coastal areas of central and northern Zhejiang from midnight today to tomorrow, and gradually turn to the north after landing. Because Shanghai is close to the landing place of this typhoon and located in the north of the landing place, it is likely to have a head-on confrontation with the typhoon going north after landing. This made "Weipa" the first typhoon that really affected Shanghai this year.

There will be strong winds and heavy rain today and tomorrow, lasting for 2-3 days.
The reporter learned from the Shanghai Central Meteorological Observatory that the strong typhoon "Weipa" is expected to have a serious impact on the city, Yangshan Port Area and Shanghai coastal waters.

Shanghai will issue the first typhoon warning this year.
The reporter learned yesterday that due to the strong intensity and wide range of Typhoon Weipa, it passes through the eastern coast of East China from south to north, and the impact time is expected to last for 2-3 days, which will have a serious impact on ground transportation, aviation, maritime transportation and citizens' lives in Shanghai and the coastal areas of East China.
