Typhoon Chanthu, this year's 30th typhoon, weakened from a severe typhoon to a typhoon last night and moved into the southern part of the East China Sea this morning. The National Meteorological Center predicts it will then turn northeast along the coastal waters of eastern Zhejiang, and the possibility of it brushing past the Zhejiang coast tomorrow cannot be ruled out at present. Affected by the combined influence of the peripheral circulation of Typhoon Chanthu and cold air, Shanghai will experience obvious windy and rainy weather from yesterday afternoon to tomorrow daytime, with torrential rain expected citywide and heavy torrential rain in the eastern and southern areas. The meteorological department said Chanthu will turn in the waters near Shanghai, and the period of impact coincides with the astronomical spring tide, with wind, rain and tide overlapping, increasing the risk of waterlogging in some areas. Relevant departments relocated and resettled residents in advance to avoid danger. As of 18:00 yesterday, the relocation and resettlement work had been fully completed, with a total of 62,400 people relocated to avoid danger.
