Typhoon Saola (No. 22, international name: SAOLA) is currently a mild typhoon, with its center located at 17.7°N, 132.5°E, moving at speeds of 24 km/h turning to 20 km/h, heading northwest turning to north-northwest. On the 27th, it will be closest to Taiwan. The forecast path shows it turning north and then proceeding northeast toward Japan. Areas around Okinawa need extra attention. Its path is very similar to the previous Typhoon Lan. Starting from the evening of the 28th, it will affect Kyushu in Japan, and from the 29th, it will move north to affect regions such as Kanto and Tohoku in Japan. Travelers to Japan should pay attention to local weather, transportation, and any flight disruptions.

Weather conditions on the 27th. (Image / Central Weather Bureau)

Affected by high pressure from the northwest and the southward movement of the northeast monsoon, the lowest temperatures across Taiwan will drop further, ranging between 18–20°C. Midday highs in central regions can still reach 27–29°C, resulting in the greatest day-night temperature difference—so take special care. In other areas, highs will be around 22°C. Autumn and winter climates are becoming more pronounced. When going out, carry light jackets or simple cold-weather items, and also be mindful of the temperature difference between air-conditioned spaces and outdoors to avoid catching a cold.
