Typhoon Dolphin (2026)

Uncommon card · No. 118201

Typhoon Dolphin was a powerful, large, very long-lived and costly tropical cyclone that affected East China in early August 2026. The thirteenth named storm, fifth typhoon and third violent typhoon of the 2026 Pacific typhoon season, Dolphin originated from a disturbance near the International Date Line in the Central Pacific in mid-July. Initially monitored by the Central Pacific Hurricane Center (CPHC), it crossed the International Date Line a week later, with the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) recognizing it as a tropical depression during the late hours of July 26. The United States' Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) followed suit the following day, designating it as 12W; a few hours later, both agencies upgraded it to a tropical storm, with the former giving it the name Dolphin.
