Typhoon Dolphin continued to spread further inland across central China on Tuesday, dumping heavy rain and causing flooding in Hubei province, with moisture reaching north up to Beijing and neighboring provinces. The storm weakened from typhoon strength but still continues to bring heavy rainfall as authorities keep warning of flooding and rain. Dolphin Weakens, but Heavy Rain Threat Spreads NorthDolphin has weakened substantially as it moves inland, reducing the threat from typhoon-force winds. The immediate concern, however, has shifted toward prolonged rainfall, flooding and landslides across central and northern China. Beijing and surrounding areas remain under heightened watch for heavy rain as moisture from Dolphin interacts with weather systems farther north.
