Tropical Storm Dolphin dumped heavy rain in eastern China, causing flooding in places after making landfall as a typhoon on Sunday, leading to cancellation of hundreds of flights by aviation authorities at Shanghai airports.
More than 900 flights, or about 40% of those expected, were cancelled in Shanghai’s Hongqiao and Pudong airports after about 1,300 were canceled the day before, according to Shanghai Airport Group.
Shanghai also suspended some of its metro lines on Monday, and China Railway Chengdu Group suspended 115 trains, state news agency Xinhua reported.
