Typhoon Bavi to Batter Taiwan for 24 Hours; Northern Areas Warned of Level 13+ Winds

Super typhoon "Bavi" is rapidly approaching Taiwan, prompting warnings of severe weather conditions. The meteorological fan page "Observing Weather" forecasts that central and northern Taiwan could experience strong gusts exceeding level 10 as Bavi nears. Northern regions are particularly at risk of facing "super strong gusts" above level 13, which are expected to cause significant damage to urban landscapes and property.

Currently, Bavi is located 1,280 kilometers from Taiwan. Its speed has slightly decreased, and it is gradually shifting northwest. While the typhoon's intensity has weakened slightly due to dry air and wind shear, it is expected to maintain its strength at the lower end of the super typhoon category as it approaches Taiwan. The Central Weather Bureau is preparing to issue sea and land typhoon warnings.

Because the central and northern regions of Taiwan are on the windward side, the typhoon's circulation will not be blocked by mountains and will directly impact the area.

Forecasters predict that Bavi's eyewall will engulf Taiwan's landmass for approximately 24 hours. "Because the central and northern regions of Taiwan are on the windward side, the typhoon's circulation will not be blocked by mountains and will directly impact the area," the "Observing Weather" page stated. "The western and central parts of Taiwan should not assume that the typhoon coming from the east does not concern them." The page also shared a satellite wind field inversion map, illustrating that the seven-level wind range is about three to four times the size of Taiwan, confirming Bavi's substantial size and power.
