TAIPEI (Taiwan News) – A tropical disturbance that has formed in the Western Pacific could intensify next week into Typhoon Hagibis (哈吉貝), the 19th tropical storm of the year, possibly putting a damper on the National Day holiday, depending on the strength of a Pacific high-pressure ridge.
Meteorologist Daniel Wu (吳德榮) said that a tropical disturbance in the Western Pacific could develop into a typhoon next week. However, Wu added the typhoon will probably head toward Japans Ryukyu Islands.
Wu said the typhoons periphery will likely not affect Taiwan on the first two days of the Double Ten Day holiday (Oct. 10 and 11). However, by Oct. 12 and 13, He said that Taiwan could see heavy rain from the storms periphery, though more observation is needed to accurately predict its future path.
