Typhoon "Megi" to hit Taiwan and southeast China
Tropical Depression 20W formed on September 23, 2016, and strengthened into Typhoon “Megi” around 12:00 UTC on September 24. Megi is expected to make two landfalls over the next couple of days. The first over Taiwan around 06:00 UTC on September 27 and the second about 24 hours later near the border of Chinese provinces of Guangdong and Fujian.
At 18:00 UTC on September 25, Typhoon “Megi” had maximum sustained winds of 167 km/h (103 mph). This made Megi a Category 2 hurricane equivalent on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. Megi’s center was located 866 km (538 miles) SE of Taipei, Taiwan, tracking WNW at 18.5 km/h (11.5 miles).
Maximum significant wave height at 18:00 UTC was 9.7 m (32 feet). ”A defined eye feature is still absent from satellite imagery,” JTWC said.
Slight intensification is expected during the next 24 hours and Megi will reach a peak intensity of 185 km/h (115 mph).
The typhoon will weaken after it makes landfall over the mountainous region of central Taiwan around 06:00 UTC on September 27, and emerge over water off the western shore of Taiwan, reorganizing as a tropical storm.
Megi is expected to hit China around 06:00 UTC on September 28.
