Taiwan’s Central Weather Bureau has issued high temperature alerts for ten counties and cities as temperatures soar, reaching 38 degrees Celsius in some areas. The heatwave is attributed to a persistent Pacific high-pressure system. Simultaneously, a brewing typhoon, named Bawei, is forecast to approach Taiwan, potentially strengthening into a severe storm within two days. Residents are urged to take precautions against both the extreme heat and the potential impact of the typhoon. Authorities are closely monitoring Bawei’s trajectory and intensity, preparing for possible evacuation orders. The approaching storm may bring heavy rainfall and strong winds, exacerbating existing concerns about landslides and flooding. Further updates and warnings will be issued as the typhoon nears.
