The Mid-Autumn holiday was thrown into disarray by typhoons, forcing many to change their travel and homecoming plans. Fortunately, apart from some suspended flights and railway services, most transportation remains operational. Typhoon Meranti intensified on September 14 and is expected to weaken after noon on September 15. Meanwhile, another weak typhoon, Malakas, is approaching Taiwan from the open Pacific, moving northwestward. Although it is not predicted to make landfall, precautions against its storm circle are still necessary. Malakas may intensify into a moderate typhoon and warrants close attention.

Weak Typhoon Malakas (No. 16, international name MALAKAS) is centered at 15.7°N, 133.2°E, moving northwestward at 22 km/h. The typhoon's central pressure is 978 hPa, with maximum sustained winds of 30 m/s near the center and gusts up to 38 m/s. The radius of 7-level winds is 120 km, and 10-level winds is 40 km. A sea warning is likely to be issued between the evening of September 15 and the early hours of September 16, potentially affecting Taiwan's land areas. Enjoying the moon during this year’s Mid-Autumn Festival may prove difficult, so the entire country should prepare for the typhoon.
