The strong typhoon Qiangpi is still moving westward, and meteorological units of various countries are also continuing to revise its path westward. The probability of invasion is gradually increasing across Taiwan. The probability of being affected by the typhoon in the five counties and cities of Kitao and Yihua in the north and north has reached nearly 50%.

According to observations from the Central Meteorological Administration, the center of Typhoon Qiangpit at 2:00 pm today (18th) is at 13.2 degrees north latitude and 142.4 degrees east longitude, that is, 260 kilometers west of Guam (2,470 kilometers southeast and east of Eluanbi), moving northwest to west at a speed of 20 kilometers per hour.

The latest report from the Meteorological Administration pointed out that the potential error circle of the typhoon track on Friday (23rd) has included the entire island of Taiwan. The latest 120-hour typhoon wind invasion probability of major cities and outlying islands in Taiwan is as high as 50% in Hualien County, 49% in Yilan, and more than 45% in the four counties and cities of North and North Kitao; about 40% in the central region, and between 28-39% in central and southern regions.

According to the latest typhoon track forecasts from various countries this morning compiled by the National Disaster Prevention and Protection Technology Center, meteorological agencies in various countries forecast that the track will continue to move westward. Typhoon Qiangbi may not turn north significantly, or even not at all. The Meteorological Administration predicts that the northernmost will reach the sea south of Miyako Island on Friday, while the Japan Meteorological Agency predicts that the southernmost path will be east of Eluanbi on Friday. However, there are still about 5 days before it may affect Taiwan, and there is still a lot of room for correction in the later path.
