Tropical Storm Saudel completed its third landfall along China's southeastern coast in Zhangpu County, Fujian Province, around 6:30 a.m. on September 3, with sustained winds near 23 meters per second. The system had previously struck Zhejiang Province twice on August 28 before weakening over land, then regenerating as a tropical storm over the warm waters of the northeastern South China Sea on September 1 due to favorable moisture and monsoon influences. Forecasters now expect rapid weakening inland over eastern Guangdong with no additional coastal impacts anticipated. This atypical "regeneration and return" track after initial dissipation has defined recent positioning, as markets resolve on the confirmed final landfall site amid ongoing dissipation.
