Central Meteorological Observatory continues to issue a blue typhoon warning at 06:00 on June 24:
This year’s No. 7 typhoon “Mekkhala” weakened from a severe typhoon to a typhoon this morning (June 24). At 5:00 a.m., its center was located over the northwestern Pacific Ocean, approximately 410 kilometers southeast of Eluanbi, Taiwan Island, at latitude 20.5 degrees north and longitude 124.5 degrees east. The maximum wind force near the center was 13 (40 m/s), the minimum central pressure was 960 hPa, the radius of force 7 wind circle was 200-250 kilometers, the radius of force 10 wind circle was 100-120 kilometers, and the radius of force 12 wind circle was 50 kilometers.
It is forecasted that “Mekkhala” will move northward at a speed of 10-15 kilometers per hour, gradually weakening, approaching the Ryukyu Islands, and gradually turning to move northeastward, heading toward the southern coast of Japan in the future.
Gale forecast: From 08:00 on June 24 to 08:00 on June 25, winds of force 6-8 with gusts of force 9-10 are expected in the Bashi Channel, the sea east of Taiwan, and the southeastern East China Sea.
Defense guidelines:
Government and relevant departments should carry out typhoon prevention and emergency rescue work 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 remove structures easily blown by wind. Personnel should not go out unnecessarily and should stay in wind-safe places as much as possible, ensuring 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, so 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.
At 5:00 p.m. on June 23, the center of this year’s No. 8 typhoon “Higos” (tropical storm) was located over the northwestern Pacific Ocean, approximately 215 kilometers north of Agafia, Guam, at latitude 15.4 degrees north and longitude 144.6 degrees east. The maximum wind force near the center was 8 (18 m/s), the minimum central pressure was 998 hPa, and the radius of force 7 wind circle was 60-120 kilometers.
It is forecasted that “Higos” will move west-northwest at a speed of 15-20 kilometers per hour, gradually strengthening, heading toward the sea east of Japan in the future, with no impact on China’s sea areas.
