Typhoon Set to Directly Hit Taiwan

-

As of 6 p.m. on Saturday, the 22nd, Typhoon DOKSURI is moving westward at a speed of 10 km/h off the Eastern Coast of the Philippines. The central atmospheric pressure is 998 hPa, with maximum sustained winds near the center at 20 m/s and maximum gusts reaching 30 m/s. On the eastern side of the center, strong winds of 15 m/s or more extend up to 440 km, and on the western side, they extend up to 330 km.
The typhoon is expected to gradually intensify and move in a northwesterly direction. By Monday, the 24th, it will reach a strong intensity, and by Tuesday, the 25th, it will become a very powerful typhoon. The peak intensity is expected to be on Wednesday, the 26th, with the central atmospheric pressure possibly dropping to 925 hPa.

If the typhoon follows the forecasted track's center, it will make a direct hit on Taiwan from Wednesday night, the 26th, until Thursday morning, the 27th. It will come closest to the Yaeyama Islands, including Ishigaki-jima and Iriomote-jima, on Wednesday night, the 26th.

As Typhoon approaches, there is a high probability that the Yaeyama Islands will enter the area of destructive winds with wind speeds of 25 m/s or higher starting from Wednesday, the 26th. The probability of this happening is currently at a maximum of 70%.

For Taiwan, which is at high risk of a direct hit, there is an almost 100% probability of entering the area of destructive winds.
