Typhoon Dolphin brought heavy rain to eastern China on Aug. 10, causing hundreds of flight cancelations even as the storm weakened and some cities resumed public transport.

The weather system lost power after making two landfalls along the coast of Zhejiang province on Aug. 9, with China’s National Meteorological Center (NMC) issuing its least severe typhoon alert on the morning of Aug. 10.

However, the NMC warned that parts of east and central China would continue to receive heavy rain for the next day.
