More than a million people were moved to safety across eastern China by Sunday evening as powerful Typhoon Dolphin made landfall amid fears torrential rain would cause flooding and landslides. A weather station in central Shanghai recorded nearly 313mm of rain in the 24 hours to 7am on Monday, its highest 24-hour rainfall in more than 150 years of records. The average rainfall recorded across Zhejiang from Friday evening to Monday morning reached 173mm, reportedly surpassing the levels seen during previous major typhoons including Lekima and Bavi.
