厄尔尼诺现象导致太平洋海水升温,加剧了今年风暴季的活跃度。台风“蔷琵”在经过大洋时曾短暂增强为超强台风。
据法新社报道,一场台风先后重创台湾和日本最南端的岛屿,周六(10月24日)向中国移动。风暴造成数千户家庭停电,数百个航班被迫取消。
根据美国联合台风警报中心的最新数据,台风“蔷琵”(Champi)的风速已降至每小时102公里,因此被降级为热带风暴。
台湾当局在风暴来袭前撤离了5000多人。风暴吹倒树木、刮断电线,还引发了短暂的洪水。
自政府周四开始发布台风警报以来,已有1人死亡,600多人受伤。
风暴给台湾大片地区带来狂风暴雨,受影响的34万多户家庭中,九成以上已经恢复供电。
随着台风离开台湾东北部、向北朝中国移动,台湾北部和中部大部分商店连续第二天停业。
台湾中央气象署的伍婉华在记者会上说:“虽然台风正逐渐远离,但我们要提醒民众,沿海地区仍会出现长浪和强阵风。”
“蔷琵”是今年太平洋风暴季中最新的一场风暴。今年的风暴季受到厄尔尼诺现象的强力推动,十分活跃。厄尔尼诺已导致赤道太平洋出现前所未有的升温。
过去几天,这场风暴在越过大洋时曾短暂增强为超强台风,据报最大持续风速将近每小时300公里。
据气象部门介绍,风暴夜间在台湾东北部的宜兰县外海打转,强度随之减弱。自周四以来,宜兰已累积至少65厘米的降雨。
周六早上,55岁的秘书王(Martha Wang)骑摩托车经过新北市的一座桥,她说自己担心会被风“吹走”。她对法新社说:“我真的很害怕,因为我在桥上。我的摩托车一直在晃。”
同样55岁的图书馆员余(William Yu)却对这场风暴不以为意。他说,这场台风“并不比其他台风更强”。“我昨天(晚上)去便利店吃饭,一切都很正常。”
据中国官方电视台央视报道,随着“蔷琵”逼近中国东部沿海,中国当局发布了“大风和暴雨”警告。上海部分火车班次已经停运,数万人撤离家园。
央视说:“江苏、上海、浙江等地部分地区预计将出现大到暴雨。”
该地区已有数百个航班取消,其中包括日本最南端的冲绳县。冲绳县政府说,有两人在台风中受伤。
石垣岛上的游客正在等待航班恢复,以便回家。来自波兰的49岁游客玛莱克(Eva Malek)对法新社说:“我们希望这是(在这里的)最后一天。”她说:“获取信息不容易。我们不了解情况,也没想到会发生这样的事。台风来的时候,我们没想到它会这么强。”
联合国周三表示,正笼罩全球的厄尔尼诺现象强度将“爆表”,各国应采取紧急行动,做好最坏的准备。
预计厄尔尼诺将在12月达到高峰,但它对人类的影响将持续到2027年甚至更久。
厄尔尼诺是一种自然气候周期中的暖相位,也就是气象学和海洋学中用来描述某些周期性气候现象进入“比常年更温暖”阶段的专业术语。它会暂时让热带太平洋海水温度升高,引发天气变化,增加干旱和洪水的风险,并加剧人为造成的全球变暖。

Affected by the outer circulation of Typhoon Qiangbi, the Central Meteorological Administration issued a special heavy rain warning, reminding the north coast of Keelung and the mountainous areas of Taipei City to beware of local heavy rains. In addition, many places need to pay attention to strong winds and long waves. A wave height of 4.4 meters has been observed in Fugui Point, New Taipei City, and the public is urged to pay attention to safety.

This year's No. 30 mild typhoon "Fireworks" has been formed. Weather experts pointed out that its intensity will continue to increase and will be upgraded to a moderate typhoon as soon as tomorrow. It is expected to turn northeast after passing through Guam, with a very low chance of affecting Taiwan and Japan.

Wildfires raged in Palangkaraya, Central Kalimantan, Indonesia, and the haze affected the city for three months. The concentration of PM2.5 has reached dangerous levels, leading to a surge in respiratory infection cases, and schools have switched to distance learning. The government has extended the state of emergency to November 9, added oxygen stations and strengthened medical support.

The warning for Typhoon Qiangbi has been lifted. Temperatures will rise in the north on Sunday, with localized rain in the eastern half, and cloudy to sunny conditions in the central and southern parts. There are still strong winds and long waves on the north coast and the eastern half of the coast, and the public is reminded to avoid beach activities. Fireworks in the distance have no direct impact on Taiwan.

Typhoon Qiangbi caused more than 1,600 disasters in Taichung City, including collapsed road trees and damaged buildings. Mayor Lu Xiuyan instructed the Environmental Protection Bureau to increase scheduled garbage collection and transportation on the 25th to assist people in post-disaster recovery, and resume normal garbage collection and transportation on the 26th.

Typhoon Qiangbi caused one death and 634 injuries across Taiwan, and there were 9,676 disaster reports. One death occurred in Liuqiu Township, Pingtung County, and the highest number of injuries occurred in Taichung City. There are still 2,274 disasters that need to be repaired, and the Central Disaster Response Center calls on the public to avoid going to dangerous areas.
