The last time Typhoon No. 30 appeared was in 2013, when Typhoon Haiyan was formed on November 4. It was the strongest tropical cyclone in the northwest Pacific in the 21st century so far.
Tropical depression "TD33" formed this morning (14th) and is expected to intensify into Typhoon "Champi" (name provided by Laos), No. 30 internationally (No. 29 from the Meteorological Administration) as soon as tonight tonight. The peak may reach a severe typhoon. The northward turning point is currently highly variable. The forecast map shows the later path "Tiannu Sanhua", which will determine the distance from Taiwan. Continue to track and observe.
According to observations from the Central Meteorological Administration, tropical depression "TD33" was centered at 9.5 degrees north latitude and 160.2 degrees east longitude at 8 a.m., that is, 1,280 kilometers south-south and west of Wake Island (4,420 kilometers southeast and east of Eluanbi), moving northwest to northwest at a speed of 3 to 15 kilometers per hour. The Meteorological Administration predicts that "TD33" will develop into a mild typhoon within 12 hours, and will intensify into "Qiangpi" at the earliest tonight.

The Japan Meteorological Agency issued a "Galle Warning" (GW) for it. If it becomes a typhoon, it will be the 30th typhoon numbered by the Meteorological Agency. It will also be the second typhoon number 30 in 13 years. The last time Typhoon No. 30 appeared was in 2013. Typhoon Haiyan was formed on November 4 of that year. It is the strongest tropical cyclone in the northwest Pacific in the 21st century so far.
The meteorological expert "Taiwan Typhoon Forum - Weather Emergency" PO article stated that after the formation of typhoon "Qiangpi", under the guidance of the Pacific high pressure, it will first move westward along the edge of the high pressure in the next 7 days, and its intensity will gradually increase. It is currently estimated that it may reach a strong typhoon at its peak.
The latest track forecast map revealed by the "Typhoon Forum" shows that based on the current data, when it comes to the southern waters of Ryukyu around next Thursday (22nd), it has the opportunity to start turning north. However, the time, location and angle of the northward turn are still very variable, which will determine the distance from Taiwan and whether it will attack Japan in the future.
The key still lies in the changes in the power of the Pacific High. The current forecast time is still far away, and there is still room for adjustment in both the path and intensity. We will continue to observe it in the future.

Forest fires in Sumatra, Indonesia, caused PM2.5 to spread to Malaysia and Singapore. Kuala Lumpur, Kuching and Singapore became the most polluted cities in the world. Schools in the three countries were suspended and haze response measures were launched. Indonesia banned burning and restored peatland moisture. ASEAN countries supported each other, but the haze issue has not yet been included in the regional disaster mechanism.

Deforestation decreased by 15% worldwide in 2025, with seven million hectares lost — roughly the size of Ireland — but experts warn progress is fragile due to worsening conditions in Central Africa and an intense El Nino pattern, putting the 2030 zero-deforestation goal at risk.

Thai authorities are deliberately flooding riverside communities north of Bangkok to protect the capital, leaving residents like Kamonchanok Sathaphonamonwut in Ayutthaya province living in waterlogged stilt houses for six consecutive years, with some relocating and others raising their homes higher.

The investigation found that the global fishmeal industry relies on illegal fishing, with fishing boats operating in prohibited areas, violating fishing quotas, and fishing without a license; workers face forced labor, violence, and dangerous conditions, and many fatal accidents have occurred in Peru and other countries; in West Africa, overfishing of forage fish has led to fishermen unemployment, food insecurity, and increased immigration. Countries such as Mauritania and Senegal have weak regulatory enforcement, and foreign vessels routinely evade monitoring.

The National Climate Center confirmed that an eastern-type super strong El Niño event formed in September this year, which is expected to continue to develop and affect the global climate. The temperature in my country's autumn and winter is generally higher, but the frequency of cold waves has increased slightly. There will be more precipitation in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River next spring and summer, and the risk of heavy rains and floods will be high. Agriculture, energy, transportation and other fields need to guard against risks such as periodic strong cold waves, low-temperature rain and snow in the south, persistent high-temperature drought in the north, and high-temperature heat damage in summer.

The Central Meteorological Observatory has warned that there will be heavy rainfall in the eastern part of southwest China, southern Jianghan, northern Jiangnan and other places today and tomorrow, with localized short-term heavy rainfall and thunderstorms and strong winds. It is expected that a new round of cold air will affect most of the country from west to east starting from the 15th, bringing cooling and rain and snow. Experts remind the public to pay attention to preventing secondary disasters and travel safety.
