Typhoon Megi, the 17th named storm (international name: MEGI), is approaching Taiwan at an accelerated pace. A marine warning may be issued as early as 8:30 PM on September 25, and a land warning cannot be ruled out for 5:30 AM on September 26.
 
[Updated]
 
The Central Weather Bureau issued a marine warning for Typhoon Megi at 11:30 PM on September 25. The typhoon’s storm area continues to expand, currently located about 830 kilometers southeast of Eluanbi. Its speed has slightly decreased. A land warning is expected to be issued by 11:30 AM on Monday, September 26. The later the warning is issued, the more significant the wind and rain impact will be on northern and northeastern Taiwan. The typhoon may make landfall in southeastern Taiwan around 5:00 AM on September 27.

The center of Typhoon Megi is located at 19.8°N, 130.3°E, approximately 1,000 kilometers from Taiwan, moving northwest at 23 km/h. The central pressure is 960 hPa, with maximum sustained winds of 38 m/s near the center, gusting up to 48 m/s. The radius of 7-level winds is 200 km, and 10-level winds extend 50 km.

 

Taiwan will be most affected on September 27. The current forecast path predicts a landfall in the Hualien-Taitung region, with the storm circle potentially covering the entire island. All regions need to prepare for the typhoon. The storm is expected to move away by the afternoon of September 28, but southern winds following the typhoon’s departure may bring heavy rain to central and southwestern Taiwan. Travelers planning to fly or take ferries in the coming days should confirm flight and sailing statuses.
