This year's No. 26 typhoon "Caiyun" has strengthened into a strong typhoon, and the Pacific tropical system is active

This year's No. 26 typhoon "Caiyun" has intensified into a strong typhoon at 2:00 pm today (4th), becoming the seventh strong typhoon this year. It is expected to be at its peak in the next 24 hours. At present, the development of the tropical system in the Pacific is still very active. The central Pacific hurricane NOLO is about to cross the border and become the No. 27 typhoon as soon as tomorrow (5th). Disturbance 94W is also developing at low latitudes, and may intensify into the No. 28 typhoon "Little Bear".

According to observations from the Central Meteorological Administration, the center of strong typhoon "Caiyun" this afternoon is at 22.8 degrees north latitude and 147.1 degrees east longitude, that is, 630 kilometers southeast and east of Iwo Jima (2,610 kilometers east of Taipei). It is moving north-northwest at a speed of 17 rpm and 21 kilometers per hour, and the storm circle has also expanded to 300 kilometers. Meteorological expert "Taiwan Typhoon Forum | Weather Emergency" said that the core of colorful clouds is solid, the eye of the storm is clear, the circulation is very wide, and the next 24 hours will be the peak condition.

Wu Shengyu, a senior consultant at a weather risk company, said on Facebook that in addition to Typhoon Caiyun that is heading north, the Central Pacific hurricane NOLO coming from afar is also expected to officially cross the date line and enter the Western Pacific between tomorrow morning and morning. It will then become the 27th typhoon NOLO this year. This is also the first successful system to cross the border this year.

At the same time, there is also a tropical disturbance 94W at low latitudes, which will gradually develop in the future. Forecast data shows that it has the chance to become the next tropical depression or typhoon system. If it becomes a system, it will be named "Little Bear". However, the general trend is still for the ocean parabola to turn northward, and it is also too far away from Taiwan, so the chance of affecting Taiwan's weather is very low.
