> Typhoon “White Dolphin,” the strongest storm to hit China so far this year, made landfall on August 9 and continued to bring widespread rain and flooding to eastern and north-central China through this week, reaching inland areas. Scholars say El Niño, which alters Pacific atmospheric circulation, is one factor behind the rise in record-breaking rainfall inland and in the north.
