It has the chance to strengthen to the upper limit of Central Taiwan around the weekend. It is expected to move northwest to west in the future, and will arrive on Monday and Tuesday next week. The sea surface southeast of Ryukyu will sometimes turn north, and the time and angle of the northward turn are still variable. The Meteorological Administration continues to observe it. It is currently estimated that it will have little impact on Taiwan's weather, but from next Wednesday, the north coast of Keelung, the eastern half of the coast, and the Hengchun Peninsula may need to pay attention to long waves.
