Not yet confirmed against a primary source

  • Confirm exact publication time of CNBC's original headline 'Typhoon Dolphin set to hit China's east coast, triggering flood warnings' relative to Dolphin's landfall at 5:30 p.m. local time August 9, 2026, to verify whether this was pre-or post-landfall at time of publication.
  • Reconcile the three separate reports of Shanghai airport flight cancellations: citynewsservice.cn reports 1,384 flights planned for Sunday (871 Pudong, 513 Hongqiao); globaltimes.cn reports 80% canceled as of 6 pm Sunday with 760 of 889 Pudong arrivals and 729 of 897 Pudong departures canceled; scmp.com, dw.com, and rte.ie report 943 flights canceled on Monday. These may reflect different days and facilities, but the sources do not clearly distinguish whether they refer to scheduled flights, planned cancellations in advance, or actual cancellations that occurred.
  • Verify whether the Shanghai evacuation figure of 215,600 reported by globaltimes.cn and theguardian.com as of 5 pm/Sunday evening represents the same population snapshot or reflects different updates, given that theguardian.com explicitly notes this is 'substantially higher than an earlier figure of 30,300'.
