Typhoon No. 18 Wipha moving north may impact Japan; Typhoon No. 19 likely to form

Typhoon Megi has just moved away, and Typhoon No. 18 Wipha has subsequently formed. Fortunately, before it approaches Taiwan, it will be guided by the Pacific high-pressure airflow and shift its path northward, remaining about 2,000 kilometers away from Taiwan. On October 2nd, a clearer path is expected to emerge. If the future path continues to shift northward, the impact on Taiwan is also expected to lessen. However, it will pose a threat to Japan. Those traveling to or conducting business in Japan over the next week should pay special attention to local weather conditions and flight updates.

[Updated]Typhoon No. 18 Wipha has developed into a moderate typhoon. Starting from the evening of October 2nd, its storm circle will enter the southern sea area of Okinawa, and by the evening of October 3rd, it will significantly impact Okinawa, possibly bringing sudden strong winds of up to 60 meters per second. Typhoon preparedness should be strengthened. From October 4th to 6th, it will move northward and northeastward, and is expected to successively affect various parts of Japan. Travelers and visitors to Okinawa and Japan in the coming days should pay special attention to local weather conditions and flight operations.
