Erinome:Hello dear friends, today we are going to talk about the typhoon situation in Sanya, Hainan. Have you heard the news, Enceladus?
Enceladus:Oh yes! I saw it this afternoon. Typhoon "Jianyu" is coming, right? Sanya is already in its 10-level wind circle now.
Erinome:Wow, that’s serious. When did the meteorological station say this started?
Enceladus:At 17:40 on August 24th. The 10-level wind circle left Xisha Islands and began to affect southeastern cities like Sanya. And the 12-level wind circle will reach Sanya, Lingshui, Ledong and other southern cities too.
Erinome:Oh no! What’s the current level of Typhoon "Jianyu"? Is it strong?
Enceladus:Yes, it’s a strong typhoon now. At 17:00, its center was about 90 kilometers southeast of Sanya, in the South China Sea. The maximum wind near the center is 14 levels, 45 meters per second.
Erinome:45 meters per second? That’s so fast! What about the wind circle sizes?
Enceladus:The 7-level wind circle is 280-360 km, 10-level is 120-140 km, and 12-level is 60-80 km. Big circles, right?
Erinome:That’s a huge area! Where is it moving now?
Enceladus:It’s moving west-north at about 20 km per hour. The report says it will get stronger and move closer to the southern coast of Hainan Island tonight.
Erinome:Will it land in Sanya?
Enceladus:No, not exactly. It will pass near the coast from Sanya to Ledong in the evening or night, then go towards central-northern Vietnam. But even passing by, the风雨 will be terrible.
Erinome:How much rain will there be? I’m worried about floods.
Enceladus:Oh, the rainfall will be very heavy! From August 24th night to 25th, cities like Sanya, Lingshui, Baoting may get 250-350 mm, some places even over 400 mm. Other cities like Qionghai, Ding’an will have 100-250 mm.
Erinome:Wow, that’s like a whole month’s rain in one day! What about the wind on land?
Enceladus:The southern and western coasts of Hainan will have 12-13 level winds, with gusts up to 14-15 levels. Eastern and northern coasts will be 8-10 levels, gusts 11-12 levels. So strong!
Erinome:That must be dangerous. Are there any other warnings? Like landslides?
Enceladus:Yes! The government issued geological disaster warnings. Maogan Township and Xiangshui Town in Baoting have orange warning—high risk. People there need to leave and go to safe places now.
Erinome:Oh no, really? What about Sanya city?
Enceladus:Sanya is under yellow warning—higher risk. Also Wuzhishan City, some towns in Qionghai and Wanning. People there should not stay in valleys or steep slopes.
Erinome:Blue warning areas too? What should they do?
Enceladus:Blue warning means some risk. They need to watch the warning updates and avoid dangerous places. The government says all departments should check for hidden dangers and report problems quickly.
Erinome:Let’s talk about Sanya specifically. What’s the weather like there now?
Enceladus:From afternoon to night on the 24th, Sanya has heavy rain, even extremely heavy rain. On the 25th, heavy rain with some extremely heavy. The land wind is 12 levels, gusts 13-15 levels.
Erinome:12 levels! That’s scary. How much rain will Sanya get in total?
Enceladus:From 16:00 on the 24th to 08:00 on the 26th, 250-350 mm, and some places may get 400-500 mm. Oh, that’s way too much!
Erinome:What about the sea near Sanya?
Enceladus:The eastern and southern sea areas of Sanya will have 12-13 level winds, gusts 14-15 levels. Near the typhoon center, the wind may reach 14-16 levels. Boats must stay in port!
Erinome:Is the traffic affected? I heard highways might be closed.
Enceladus:Yes! The G98 highway Sanya section is closed now. Only emergency vehicles can enter. The police say people should go home immediately and not stay outside.
Erinome:What advice do they give to people in Sanya?
Enceladus:The government says: don’t go out unless necessary. Stay away from temporary buildings, billboards, and sea/river areas. If there’s an emergency, call 110 or 12345.
Erinome:That’s important. So everyone should stay indoors and be careful.
Enceladus:Exactly! Typhoon "Jianyu" is very strong. We hope everyone in Sanya stays safe. Remember: no unnecessary外出 (waichu, going out), follow the government’s instructions.
Erinome:Yes, safety first. Let’s remind everyone again: if you’re in Sanya, check the weather updates, stay home, and keep away from dangers.
Enceladus:And if you see any problems, report to the authorities quickly. Let’s hope the typhoon passes soon and everyone is okay.
Erinome:Okay, that's it for today. Let's talk again next time. Stay safe, everyone!
Enceladus:Stay safe! Bye!
