To date this year, 18 typhoons have been generated in the northwestern Pacific Ocean and South China Sea, with seven of them have landing in China. The number of typhoons, and the ones landing in the country, are above the yearly average, and could go some ways to explaining the abundance of vessel delays in recent weeks.

Last night Chinese meteorologists renewed a typhoon yellow alert, the second-lowest of a four-tier warning system, as Typhoon Rumbia approached East China. Typhoon Rumbia  is expected to pack winds of up to 100 kilometers per hour near its eye, according to the national observatory.

It will bring heavy winds, rain and flooding in at least six provincial regions, including Jiangsu, Anhui and Hubei provinces. Some areas in Zhejiang, Jiangsu and Shanghai were expected to receive rainfall of up to 18 centimeters from 2 pm Thursday to 2 pm Friday.

The typhoon may potentially effect both air and sea terminal operations , as well as vessel and flight departures.
