Typhoon “Gemei,” the third typhoon of this year, intensified from a strong typhoon to a super typhoon at 8 AM today (the 24th). As of 9 AM, its center is located about 195 kilometers southeast of Yilan County, Taiwan Province, at 23.6 degrees north latitude and 123.2 degrees east longitude. The maximum wind force near the center is 16 levels (55 meters per second), the minimum pressure in the center is 930 hPa, the radius of the seventh-level wind circle is 250-380 kilometers, the radius of the tenth-level wind circle is 100-120 kilometers, and the radius of the twelfth-level wind circle is 55-65 kilometers.
According to Chinese weather reports, the path of Typhoon “Gemei” in its later stages is highly similar to that of Typhoon “Du Surui,” which brought significant wind and rain effects to Quanzhou. Typhoon “Gemei” has a massive cloud body with a dense center and an asymmetrical structure. As its strength continues to increase, it is predicted to become the most powerful typhoon in the Pacific Northwest this year. Be wary of Typhoon “Gemei” heading north, as it may cause extreme rainfall.
