Qiang Pi will become a "large and powerful platform"! Experts reveal the path: The threat to Taiwan has increased significantly

Typhoon No. 29 "Qiangpi" was upgraded to Central Taiwan this morning. Meteorological experts pointed out that it is expected to turn northwest and west towards Taiwan. The threat to Taiwan has increased significantly and must not be underestimated. (Picture taken from Central Meteorological Administration)

Meteorological experts pointed out that the lowest temperature on the ground this morning was 19.8 degrees in Hsinchu and Kansai. During the day, temperatures in various places were relatively high, ranging from 34 to 36 degrees. This is an "autumn tiger" weather pattern and will last until next Tuesday. The northeast monsoon will strengthen from next Wednesday to Friday, and the No. 29 Chinese station "Qiang Pi" is expected to turn northwest and pounce on Taiwan. The threat to Taiwan has increased significantly and must not be underestimated.

Wu Derong, adjunct associate professor of the Department of Atmosphere, Central University, wrote in a column for the "Meteorological Application Promotion Foundation" today that the lowest temperature on the ground this morning was 19.8 degrees in Guanxi, Hsinchu, and the lowest temperature on the ground in various places was about 21 or 22 degrees. From today to next Tuesday (17th to 20th), the eastern half will be sunny and cloudy with occasional localized short-term rainfall; the western half will be clear and stable; the daytime temperature is relatively high, and the temperature difference between day and night is large, which is an "autumn tiger" pattern. Today's temperatures in various regions are as follows: 22 to 34 degrees in the north, 21 to 35 degrees in the center, 22 to 36 degrees in the south, and 22 to 34 degrees in the east.

Wu Derong said that according to the latest model simulation, the northeast monsoon will strengthen from next Wednesday to Friday (21st to 23rd), with rain on the windward side and a drop in temperature; the impact on the leeward side will be slight.

Wu Derong mentioned that according to the latest Meteorological Administration forecast, No. 29 Central Station "Qiangpi" is located in the sea east of Guam, heading northwest and west toward the sea south of Ryukyu, and will continue to strengthen into a "large strong station" in the "Super Saint Infant Year" in the future. The latest European model simulation shows that the behavior after five days has been significantly adjusted. Most of the simulated paths of the system continue to move northwest and west toward Taiwan. The number of "big swings" has been reduced. Although it will weaken as it approaches Taiwan, the threat has greatly increased and must not be underestimated.

Wu Derong also reminded that the current forecast is ultimately a simulation five days later, and the "uncertainty" is large, and the model will continue to be adjusted, so further observation is needed.
