Typhoon Champi continues to approach Taiwan from the east. Though the storm is gradually weakening, the storm circle remains intact. The Central Weather Administration expects to issue a land warning at some point during Thursday night. The storm will be closest to Taiwan on Friday, so be sure to make all the necessary preparations ahead of time. Let’s hear from a meteorologist.

Central Weather Administration
We expect the storm to reach waters off the east coast of Taiwan on Thursday. On Friday and Saturday, it will veer north in waters off the northeast coast. The projected path has been adjusted westward a bit in comparison with the predictions earlier today. That means its shift north will be a bit slower. The point at which the change in direction happens will impact how close it will get to Taiwan.

The combined forces of the storm and northeasterly winds are set to bring rainy weather to the north and east coast of Taiwan on Thursday. Stormy conditions will be felt on Friday, when Champi will be closest to the island. Northestern Taiwan could see extremely heavy rains of more than 300mm. Precipitation won’t let up until Saturday afternoon, when Champi continues its way toward Japan.
