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 bring heavy rain to the region from Tuesday through Thursday.北京市气象局首席预报员翟亮表示，台风白海豚外围环流输送的暖湿气流叠加冷空气，预计将于周二至周四给京津冀带来强降雨。"Beijing is expected to receive the strongest rainfall from early Wednesday to Wednesday night," Zhai said, adding that red alerts for heavy rain have been issued in districts such as Fangshan, Daxing, Tongzhou and Mentougou.翟亮说：“北京最强降雨时段预计为周三凌晨至周三夜间。” 他介绍，房山、大兴、通州、门头沟等区已发布暴雨红色预警。On Monday, the National Meteorological Center continued to issue an orange alert for heavy rain, the second‑highest warning level. Isolated areas in northern Hubei could receive 250 to 270 mm during the 24‑hour period between Monday afternoon and Tuesday afternoon.国家气象中心周一继续发布暴雨橙色预警，这是第二高级别的预警。周一下午至周二下午的 24 小时内，湖北北部局地降雨量可达 250‑270 毫米。The Ministry of Emergency Management has activated a Level IV flood‑control emergency response in Hebei, Henan, Hubei and Shandong amid rising risks of flooding and geological disasters over the next three days. China has a four‑tier emergency response system for flood control, with Level I being the most severe.未来三天洪涝、地质灾害风险升高，应急管理部针对河北、河南、湖北、山东启动防汛四级应急响应。我国防汛应急响应分为四级，一级为最高级别。Local governments are being urged to closely monitor updated weather forecasts and strengthen preparations for flooding, landslides, mudslides and urban waterlogging, particularly in mountainous areas and along rivers.相关方面督促地方政府密切跟踪气象预报更新，做好洪涝、山体滑坡、泥石流、城市内涝防范工作，山区、沿河区域需重点防范。The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs on Monday renewed a warning over the risk of farmland waterlogging. From Monday night through Saturday, parts of Henan could see exceptionally heavy rain, with a very high risk of farmland waterlogging. The prolonged rainfall could leave farmland saturated and affect crop growth.农业农村部周一再次发布农田渍涝风险预警。周一夜间至周六，河南部分地区将遭遇特大暴雨，农田渍涝风险极高。持续降雨会造成农田土壤过湿饱和，影响作物生长。Farmers are advised to clear drainage channels, as well as prepare pumps and other equipment and supplies in advance. After the rain, farmers should promptly drain excess water, improve soil aeration and moisture conditions, and use pesticides and fertilizers to help crops recover and resume their growth.建议农户疏通排水渠道，提前备好水泵等物资设备。降雨过后，农户应及时排涝，改善土壤通气与墒情，施用农药化肥助力作物恢复生长。After Thursday, the rainfall pattern is expected to shift as the residual vortex gradually moves eastward and southward, forecasters said. If the residual vortex redevelops around Aug 16, it could bring another round of heavy rainfall to northeastern China, they added.预报人员表示，周四以后，随着残余涡旋逐步向东南移动，降雨格局将发生转变。预报补充，若该残余涡旋在 8 月 16 日前后再度发展，或将给我国东北地区带来新一轮强降雨。typhoon /taɪˈfuːn/n. 台风remnant /ˈremnənt/n. 残余；剩余部分waterlogging /ˈwɔːtəlɒɡɪŋ/n. 涝灾；积水vortex /ˈvɔːteks/n. 涡旋；漩涡
