The system is currently moving west-northwest at a speed of about 25 kilometers per hour, with little change in intensity expected in the near term.
Packing winds of up to 50 meters per second, Dolphin is expected to start impacting Chinese coastal waters on the night of Wednesday, August 5—when the rain could begin.
