[Epoch Times, August 22, 2022](Reported by Epoch Times reporter Lin Zixin, Taipei, Taiwan) The Central Meteorological Administration announced the formation of two tropical depressions at 3 pm on the 22ndtyphoonInformation, including mild typhoon No. 9saddleforecast to move northwest; and mild typhoon No. 10Scorpion Tiger, predicted to move northward, with no direct impact on Taiwan. The Bureau of Meteorology stated thatsaddleIt is expected to be closest to Taiwan from the evening of the 23rd to the 24th, and the southern and eastern half will be protected from local brief showers or thunderstorms.
The Bureau of Meteorology states,Scorpion Tiger“Located in the sea to the southeast of Japan, about 3,000 kilometers away from Taiwan, it will continue to move north toward Japan, basically having no impact on Taiwan. The current position of “Saddle” is close to the northern end of Luzon Island. It is expected to be from the evening of the 23rd to the 24th. When it was the closest to Taiwan, there were local short showers or thunderstorms in the southern and eastern half, while other areas were cloudy to clear, and there were local short thunderstorms in the afternoon.
The Bureau of Meteorology said the current forecast was releasedtyphoonThe chance of a warning is low, but it still depends on whether there will be changes in the saddle path and storm radius, and the Bureau of Meteorology will continue to observe and update.
Wu Derong, an adjunct associate professor of the Department of Atmospheric Sciences at Central University, said in the meteorological column that the Qingtai Saddle will swipe across the northeastern end of Luzon Island, near Dongsha Island, and then head towards Guangdong in the future. The southern end is offshore, and the far left passes through Luzon Island.
Wu Derong said that the latest storm circle invasion probability map of the Meteorological Bureau shows that although the probability of the storm circle of Qingtai Masaan entering the adjacent 100-kilometer sea area is not high, about 10 to 20%, it cannot be completely ruled out scientifically, so whether it is necessary to issue an alert, One more day of observation is necessary, and it is not advisable to jump to conclusions
Wu Derong mentioned that the latest model simulation shows that on the 24th and 25th, affected by the peripheral circulation of typhoon Masaan, the eastern half and southern part of the 24th had significant rainfall, the central and northern parts were still sunny and warm, and there were occasional short showers; There will be local showers in the south, and there will also be local showers or thunderstorms in the north and central areas.
