Typhoon No. 22, Saola, is currently a mild typhoon (international name: SAOLA), with its center located at 17.7°N, 132.5°E, moving northwest then turning to north-northwest. It will be closest to Taiwan on the 27th. The forecast path shows it turning north and then proceeding northeast toward Japan. Extra caution is advised around Okinawa, as its path closely resembles that of the previous Typhoon Lan. From the evening of the 28th, it will begin affecting Kyushu, and from the 29th, it will move north to impact regions including Kanto and Tohoku in Japan. Travelers to Japan should pay close attention to local weather conditions, transportation, and potential flight disruptions.

Due to the influence of a high-pressure system to the northwest and the southward advance of the northeast monsoon, Taiwan’s lowest temperatures will drop further, ranging between 18–20°C. Midday highs in central areas may still reach 27–29°C, resulting in the largest day-night temperature differences—extra care is needed. In other regions, highs will be around 22°C. Autumn and winter climates are becoming more pronounced. When going out, carry a light jacket or simple cold-weather gear, and also be mindful of temperature differences between air-conditioned indoor spaces and the outdoors to avoid catching a cold.
