Typhoon Meranti Becomes a Moderate Typhoon in Central Taiwan, Marine Warning May Disrupt Mid-Autumn Holiday — Be Prepared Early

By / MOOK Scenic Spots Family Editorial Team, compiled and reported

As Typhoon Meranti is moving directly toward Taiwan, its path may shift slightly southward, potentially making landfall in southeastern Taiwan. This would have a greater impact on central and southern regions, while northern areas should also remain vigilant against heavy rain and strong winds. The typhoon’s approach coincides with the Mid-Autumn holiday. According to the “Guidelines for Labor Attendance Management and Wage Payment in Enterprises During Natural Disasters,” the Mid-Autumn holiday is already a national holiday, so no compensatory leave is required if a typhoon holiday is declared. In response to the typhoon situation, both Taiwan Railways and Taiwan High-Speed Rail have contingency plans to minimize disruption to Mid-Autumn travel. During this period, travelers visiting or returning home should pay close attention to flight and train schedules and make necessary typhoon preparations.
