Typhoon Dujuan is on track to impact Japan’s southern Ryukyu Islands and the populous island nation of Taiwan. The typhoon is expected to make landfall tomorrow (Monday 28 September).
Once the storm passes Taiwan, it is forecast to emerge over the South China Sea as a moderate typhoon, and make its final landfall along the coast of Fujian Province, China. By then it should have lost much of its force but rain will still be a risk.
Dujuan, the 21st typhoon this year, has grown into a super typhoon and is heading toward southeast China’s Fujian and Taiwan, the State Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters said Sunday.
Typhoon Dujuan is likely to deliver a punishing blow to northern Taiwan on Monday night local time, including the capital of Taipei.
Last month Typhoon Soudelor ripped through the same region, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake. A firefighter also died when he was hit by a drunk driver as he tried to move a fallen tree.
