Toxic haze caused by wildfires in Indonesia has blanketed Southeast Asia, causing an increase in respiratory diseases and causing people to rush to buy oxygen bottles and air purifiers. Kuala Lumpur medical equipment manufacturer AA Alive said sales surged 35% and employees were working around the clock to produce life-saving equipment.

The Ministry of Water Resources and the China Meteorological Administration jointly issued a blue flash flood disaster weather warning at 18:00 on October 18, and it is expected that flash floods may occur in many places. On the same day, the Central Meteorological Observatory continued to issue blue warnings for strong winds. There will be strong winds of magnitude 5 to 9 in many provinces, regions and sea areas.

Conservation groups say they have rescued dozens of critically endangered orangutans in recent weeks from Indonesian forest and land fires that have been burning for months, creating a toxic haze that has blanketed Southeast Asia.

Typhoon Qiangbi continues to intensify, and the Meteorological Administration predicts that the Coast Guard will be issued as soon as Wednesday evening, and it does not rule out the issuance of land warning from Thursday to Friday. Friday and Saturday will be the worst affected by typhoons and the northeast monsoon, with rain falling across Taiwan. Coastal areas must be careful of strong winds and long waves.

Taiwanese eco-friendly cleaning brand picupi partnered with FamilyMart to transform discarded clam shells and commercial milk bottles into cleaning agent ingredients and packaging, creating a circular supply chain and winning the 2026 Japan Good Design Award.

The strong typhoon Qiangpi continues to move westward and will strengthen again in the future and challenge this year's wind king throne. Experts pointed out that the latest AI model collection shows that about 70% of the members are very close to or passing through Taiwan. The key lies in the weakening of the Pacific high pressure, and future trends still need to be continuously observed.
