Typhoon Haima may continue to intensify, with its path potentially heading toward Hong Kong and Macau. The likelihood of Taiwan issuing a sea warning has also decreased. It is worth noting that Typhoon Haima’s looping path could result in a sharp turn. Due to interactions between the peripheral circulation of the typhoon, southeasterly winds, and terrain, northern weather may be affected around the weekend. Meanwhile, the rainy weather will gradually shift from the north, Hualien-Taitung, and Hengchun Peninsula to the southwest and western regions, with many areas entering a period of increased rainfall. Recently, it's advisable to carry rain gear when going out, and travelers heading to Hong Kong or Macau should also pay attention to local typhoon conditions and flight situations.
Additionally, some netizens humorously remarked that the shift in Typhoon Haima’s path directly toward Hong Kong is because “Haima” is returning to “Hong Kong Ocean Park,” which is also an amusing take among typhoon-related news.
