Around 1400 Beijing time, Typhoon White Dolphin re-strengthened to a super
typhoon, with maximum winds near the center of 52 m/s. The system has just
passed over a high sea-surface-temperature zone (>30°C) and is currently under
relatively low vertical wind shear, factors favorable for intensification. It is
forecast to move westward at about 20–25 km/h and is expected to strengthen
further.
