英语新闻丨台风减弱 强降雨威胁持续
Description
Typhoon Dolphin has weakened to a tropical storm after making two landfalls in eastern China's Zhejiang province, but its moisture‑rich circulation is continuing to move northwestward, threatening to unleash potentially extreme rainfall across parts of northern China, meteorologists said on Monday.
周一,气象部门表示,台风白海豚在中国东部浙江省两次登陆后已减弱为热带风暴,但其水汽充沛的环流仍在向西北方向移动,或将给中国北方部分地区带来极端强降雨天眼新闻。
Dolphin, the 13th typhoon of the year, made two landfalls in Zhejiang on Sunday evening and weakened as it moved inland. But unlike many tropical cyclones that rapidly dissipate after landfall, its extensive cloud system and abundant moisture have allowed its remnants to persist and move northward and westward, said Zhang Fanghua, chief forecaster at the National Meteorological Center.
国家气象中心首席预报员张芳华表示,今年第 13 号台风白海豚于周日晚间在浙江两次登陆,深入内陆后强度减弱。但和许多登陆后迅速消散的热带气旋不同,该台风庞大的云系与充沛水汽使其残余环流得以维持,并向西北方向移动。
"The residual circulation could bring persistent and extreme rainfall to parts of eastern and northern China," Zhang said.
张芳华称:“残余环流可能给我国东部、北方部分地区带来持续性极端强降雨。”
Dolphin's movement is forecast to significantly slow after Tuesday, and around Wednesday its remnants could stall near the border area of Hubei, Henan and Anhui provinces.
预报显示,白海豚周二之后移动速度将大幅放缓,其残余环流或将在周三前后停滞于湖北、河南、安徽三省交界一带。
The residual vortex is expected to interact with an upper‑level trough in the westerlies and a cold‑air system, potentially triggering a new round of widespread and heavy rainfall, Zhang added.
张芳华补充道,残余涡旋将与西风带高空槽以及冷空气系统相互作用,有可能引发新一轮大范围强降雨。
The heavy rain will cover much of Shanghai as well as Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Anhui, Hubei, Henan and Shandong provinces through Tuesday.
截至周二,强降雨将波及上海大部以及浙江、江苏、安徽、湖北、河南、山东多地。
As the rain belt moves northward on Tuesday and Wednesday, some locations in Henan, Hebei, and Shanxi could receive 400 to 600 millimeters of rain, with the possibility of exceptionally heavy downpours.
随着雨带于周二、周三北移,河南、河北、山西部分地区累计降雨量可达 400‑600 毫米,或将出现特大暴雨。
Meteorologists warned that the threat will also extend into the Beijing‑Tianjin‑Hebei region.
气象专家警示,降雨威胁还将波及京津冀地区。
Zhai Liang, chief forecaster at the Beijing Meteorological Service, said that warm and humid air from Dolphin's outer circulation, combined with cold air, is expected to brin
