World Meteorological Agency Forecasts
This figure shows the simulation results of the course calculated by meteorological agencies around the world. The information (members) obtained in the process of the ensemble forecast method is posted to give an image of the range of possible paths.Comparing these members, most of them go to Taiwan. Other than that, there are those that move westward in the South China Sea and those that move northward through the Sakishima Islands, but the number of inner circles has decreased considerably.
The probability of entering the Japan Meteorological Agency’s forecast circle is 70%. As the days pass, the error in the course will shrink further, so please check the latest information as much as possible.
Sakishima Islands are wary of storms and high waves
25th (Tue) 9 o’clock wind forecast
In the future, it is expected to gradually increase in strength as it moves through areas with high sea surface temperatures and favorable wind conditions.Looking at the wind forecast near the ground at 9:00 on the 25th (Tuesday), you can see that the red area indicating wind speeds of 20m/s or more is spreading widely. The typhoon is expected to reach its peak around the 26th (Wednesday), and the maximum wind speed near the center is expected to reach 50m/s.
It is expected to approach Okinawa and the Sakishima Islands at near-peak intensity, and vigilance is required for storms and high waves in the Sakishima Islands. In addition, the very warm and moist air around the typhoon may cause heavy rain.
The effects of wind and waves appear before a typhoon approaches. Be prepared as early as possible, such as putting away items that are easily blown away indoors.
