Typhoon "Qiangpi" is generated! Meteorological Fan Expert: Next Thursday to Saturday will be closest to Taiwan

This year's No. 29 typhoon "Qiangpi" has formed this afternoon (15th). Regarding this, the weather expert "Taiwan Typhoon Forum - Weather Emergency" pointed out that Qiangpi will not affect Taiwan's weather this week, but the position of its northward turn is the key to affecting Taiwan. In addition, because the ocean and atmospheric environment along the way are conducive to the development of typhoons, Qiangpi may grow into a strong typhoon and is predicted to be closest to Taiwan from next Thursday (22nd) to Saturday (24th).

The fan forum "Taiwan Typhoon Forum - Weather Emergency" posted on Facebook that Qiangpi will not affect Taiwan's weather this week. It is expected to approach the eastern waters of the Philippines next Wednesday. However, the predictions of various models for the subsequent northward turn point are different. The key lies in the degree of weakening of the high pressure and the change in the position of the edge of the high pressure. Where it turns northward will be the key to affecting Taiwan. It is expected to be closest to Taiwan from next Thursday to Saturday.

Fenzhuan pointed out that since the ocean and atmospheric environment along the way are conducive to the development of typhoons, the energy provided by the ocean may make Qiangpi continue to strengthen. It is expected that Qiangpi will grow into a large and powerful typhoon, and subsequent path changes must be continuously observed.

The Meteorological Administration analyzed that at 2 o'clock this afternoon, the center of Typhoon Qiangbi was at 11.0 degrees north latitude and 158.6 degrees east longitude, moving westward at a speed of 24 kilometers per hour. The central air pressure is 998 hPa, the maximum wind speed near the center is 18 meters per second, the maximum instantaneous gust is 25 meters per second, and the average storm radius of Category 7 winds is 80 kilometers.
