The center of the 7th typhoon this year, “Mekkhala” (super typhoon level), was located at 5:00 a.m. today (23rd) on the northwestern Pacific Ocean surface about 610 kilometers southeast of Eluanbi, Taiwan, at 18.5 degrees north latitude and 125.4 degrees east longitude. The maximum wind force near the center is 16 levels (55 m/s), the minimum central pressure is 930 hPa, the radius of force 7 wind circle is 250-350 kilometers, the radius of force 10 wind circle is 120-140 kilometers, and the radius of force 12 wind circle is 80 kilometers.
It is expected that “Mekkhala” will move in a north-northwest direction at a speed of 10-15 kilometers per hour, with little change in intensity, and will approach the southeastern waters of Taiwan Island. It will begin to turn northeastward on the 24th, with intensity gradually weakening.
Gale forecast: From 08:00 on June 23 to 08:00 on June 24, the Bashi Channel and the waters east of Taiwan will experience winds of force 6-8, with gusts of force 9-10. Among them, the eastern waters of the Bashi Channel may see winds of force 9-10, with gusts of force 11-12.
Defense guidelines:
Government and relevant departments should perform typhoon prevention and emergency rescue duties according to their responsibilities.
Ships operating in relevant waters and passing vessels should return to port for shelter, reinforce port facilities, and prevent ships from dragging anchor, running aground, or colliding.
Stop outdoor large gatherings and high-altitude outdoor hazardous operations. Reinforce or dismantle structures that are easily blown by the wind. Personnel should not go out casually and should stay in wind-safe places as much as possible. Ensure that the elderly and children remain in the safest places at home. People in dangerous houses should be relocated promptly.
When the typhoon center passes, wind force may decrease or become calm for a period. Remember that strong winds will suddenly strike again, and you should continue to stay in a safe place for shelter.
Relevant areas should be vigilant against mountain torrents and geological disasters that may be triggered by heavy rainfall.
