Will Typhoon Bavi Make Landfall? Latest Path Revealed! Will There Be a Typhoon Holiday? Weather Page Warns: 5 Counties Need Caution

Strong Typhoon Bavi is approaching Taiwan, with the most severe impacts expected over the next two days (10th and 11th). According to the meteorological fan page 'Taiwan Typhoon Forum | Weather Emergency,' Bavi has slightly weakened over the past six hours and currently maintains the lower limit of a strong typhoon classification. The latest forecast path has shifted slightly northward. Meteorological experts emphasize that the angle at which Bavi turns northwest today will be crucial in determining whether the storm's center will graze Taiwan, develop into a northwestern typhoon, or make direct landfall. Due to Bavi's extensive circulation and exceptionally large wind field, the storm's wind zone is expected to gradually envelop all of Taiwan starting from tomorrow night, regardless of whether the center makes landfall. Areas closest to the storm's center—including Taipei to Changhua, Yilan, northern Hualien, and Matsu—must remain on high alert.

Typhoon Bavi's Path Shifts Northward—Today's Turning Angle Is Key

Strong Typhoon Bavi continues to approach Taiwan, expected to impact the island on the 10th and 11th. According to the latest observations from 'Taiwan Typhoon Forum | Weather Emergency,' Bavi is currently located about 1,020 kilometers east of Taiwan. Over the past six hours, the typhoon's intensity has slightly weakened, maintaining the lower threshold of a strong typhoon. Although slightly weaker, the latest meteorological forecast shows the storm's path has shifted slightly northward, increasing the likelihood of passing near the northeastern tip of Taiwan while reducing the probability of direct landfall on the main island.

Meteorological experts highlight that the typhoon's movement direction today is critical. The degree and angle at which Bavi turns northwest today will directly determine whether the storm's center will pass close by, form a typical northwestern typhoon, or make direct landfall. This trajectory will significantly affect the intensity of wind and rain across different regions.

Wind Zone to Gradually Envelop Taiwan from Tomorrow Night—Saturday Daytime to See Strongest Winds and Rain

As the typhoon advances, the timeline of wind and rain across Taiwan has become clearer. The weather page predicts that starting from tomorrow night into the late evening, Bavi's wind zone will begin to gradually approach and cover Taiwan's land areas. On Saturday daytime, the typhoon's center is expected to pass near or along the northeastern tip of Taiwan, marking the period of most intense impact and heaviest rainfall. The storm will then gradually accelerate away from Taiwan after nightfall.

The weather page warns that although Typhoon Bavi is expected to weaken as it approaches Taiwan, this type of typhoon features a vast circulation and an exceptionally large wind field. This means that regardless of whether the storm's center makes direct landfall, the majority of Taiwan will still be affected by its expansive wind zone. Therefore, residents across Taiwan should take early preventive measures against this strong typhoon.

Which Areas Are Most at Risk? Five Regions Must Raise Typhoon Preparedness

With such a wide-reaching typhoon circulation, which areas need to be especially vigilant? According to the latest forecast path, northern, eastern, and outlying island regions are most at risk. The weather page specifically highlights the western region from Taipei to Changhua, Yilan, northern Hualien, and the outlying island of Matsu, as these areas are geographically closest to the storm's center and will likely experience the strongest winds and heaviest rainfall. Experts urge residents and relevant authorities in these areas to prepare at the highest level to guard against potential strong winds and torrential rains.
