Typhoon threats for Taiwan and China

Published 2024-07-21
Tropical Storm Gaemi, named Carina by the Philippines, is moving slowly off the east coast of the Philippines, and is only intensifying slowly at the moment due to high wind shear. More rapid strengthening is expected as it pushes northwards in a couple of days and affect the coast of Taiwan and the southernmost Ryukyu islands of Japan. The Batanes islands may also see storm conditions. Gaemi could become a major typhoon before it curves back towards the northwest and pummels the coast of northern Taiwan. Rainfall on the island could exceed 900mm, as well as on the northwestern coast of Luzon as a byproduct of both storms.

Tropical Storm Prapiroon will make landfall overnight on the island of Hainan, China, and will then slink into the Gulf of Tonkin and may curve further east before stalling inland along the coast. Some strengthening is possible, before gradual weakening takes hold on Tuesday.

The Eastern Pacific still shows weak signals, with two areas of interest in the lower latitudes and one which is entering the Central Pacific soon. Development is ultimately still not expected
