According to the Central Meteorological Observatory on August 25, at 5 o'clock on the 25th, this year's No. 10 typhoon "Dawi" formed on the ocean about 920 kilometers north-east of Guam. The intensity of the tropical storm (8 magnitude, 18 m/s) is expected to move northeast at a speed of 25~30 kilometers per hour, and it will turn northwest to the east on the 26th, with little change in intensity. It is reported that the name "Dawei" provided by Cambodia, meaning elephant, is the first name on the typhoon naming list, and this time it is the fifth use of "Dawei".

Fukushima Prefecture in Japan is located in the Tohoku region of Japan. Whether Typhoon Davis Polk will affect Japan's Fukushima nuclear power plant's plan to discharge contaminated water has not yet been answered. Xin Xin, a meteorological analyst at China Meteorological Channel, said that the wind and waves rolled up by "Dawei" may be conducive to the eastward transmission of Japan's nuclear contaminated water.
