Fujian typhoon guide

Fujian is a coastal province of southeastern China facing the Taiwan Strait. The Fujian Meteorological Bureau issues typhoon warnings by level (Level IV is the lowest), and the provincial flood and typhoon control headquarters announces the provincial typhoon emergency response on the Fujian Provincial Emergency Management Department site. Boats are called back to port and fishers brought ashore during typhoon warnings. Follow your city and county authorities for instructions.

What to know in Fujian

  • In early September 2026 the provincial headquarters kept a Level IV typhoon emergency response for a typhoon written 科罗旺 in Chinese and ended it at 15:00 on 5 September, after the Fujian provincial weather service lifted its Level IV typhoon warning.
  • During that response the province told coastal counties to keep managing boats that had returned to port and fishers and fish farmers brought ashore, and said going to sea on one's own was forbidden until the typhoon warning was lifted.
