Typhoon Peilou, the 16th typhoon of the year, formed in the western North Pacific on Sunday afternoon, creating a rare situation in which three typhoons – Dolphin, Chan-hom and Peilou – were active simultaneously, weather.com.cn reported on Sunday.
Typhoon Peilou formed at a tropical storm level. At 2 pm, the typhoon’s center was located over the western North Pacific, about 740 kilometers north-northwest of Saipan, Guam, packing winds of up to 65 kilometers per hour near its center, China Central Television (CCTV) reported on Sunday.
Typhoon Peilou is expected to move eastward at 25 to 30 kilometers per hour and gradually strengthen, according to CCTV.
The name “Peilou” comes from China’s Macao, and refers to a common migratory bird found in the region.
As Typhoon Kujira dissipated after being absorbed by Typhoon Dolphin, now there still remain three typhoons simultaneously.
According to Ma Jun, director of the Institute of Public and Environmental Affairs, early August is a peak period for typhoon activity, which typically sees the most typhoon formations of the year. Therefore, the occurrence of multiple typhoons, including severe typhoons, during this period is normal.
By this time, the ocean has absorbed and accumulated energy for more than six months, while atmospheric circulation is also favorable for the formation and development of typhoons, Ma told the Global Times on Sunday.
Typhoon Dolphin made landfall in Taizhou, East China's Zhejiang Province, on Sunday afternoon, bringing strong winds up to 42 meters per second and heavy torrential rain to the coastal regions amid a red alert – the highest level in the country's typhoon warning system – issued for it earlier that day.

二 | (ECNS) -- Authorities in Xiamen City, Fujian Province, have launched an investigation into a local disinfection company accused of using a highly toxic pesticide to disinfect popular chain restaurants. According to the Beijing News, the company allegedly used dichlorvos, a toxic agricultural pesticide, to provide routine disinfection services for dozens of well-known chain restaurants, including Green Tea, Xianqi Banbudian, Chi Nai, Fengyuanjia and Yisushi. In a statement released Monday, the joint investigation team in Huli District said authorities had received public complaints about the company and launched an immediate probe. Inspectors collected evidence at the site, conducted sampling and testing, and seized all remaining chemicals held by the company. The company's operations in Huli district have been shut down. Authorities pledged to punish any violations in accordance with the law. A citywide inspection of local disinfection service providers is underway to identify and address irregularities, with zero tolerance for illegal practices in the industry. On Monday noon, the company's legal representative, identified as Zhuang, told Xiaoxiang Morning Herald that the company had never used dichlorvos, but instead used professional disinfection products. Zhuang also claimed that the company had been maliciously reported by a former employee. Zhuang said that two inspections conducted by Xiamen's market regulation authorities, one in late July and the other in early August, found no evidence of dichlorvos. However, the local authorities have not confirmed Zhuang's claims. Dichlorvos is not permitted for use in catering venues due to its persistence and potential health hazards. Exposure to the chemical can cause serious health effects and, in severe cases, may be life-threatening. 。
