Intensification of three tropical depressions could lead to a probable typhoon occurrence
The Central Weather Administration (CWA) has reported that three tropical depressions have intensified into tropical storms. Among them, tropical storm Ragasa is projected to affect Taiwan, possibly as a typhoon.
As of 2am today, Ragasa was 1,370km east-southeast of Oluanpi on the southernmost tip of Taiwan. The storm is currently moving west-northwest before turning northwest. According to the CWA, Ragasa is likely to intensify into a typhoon during this period.
The projected route indicates that Ragasa is most likely to affect Taiwan starting from Monday, with the storm being closest to Taiwan from Tuesday to early Wednesday. A sea warning for Ragasa is unlikely before Sunday afternoon.
The outer rim of Ragasa is expected to start affecting Taiwan on Monday, bringing prolonged showers and thunderstorms to eastern and southeastern Taiwan, as well as the Hengchun Peninsula. Extremely heavy rain is possible in the Hengchun Peninsula during this time.
Localized showers are also forecast in the north, northeast, and south, and in mountainous areas in central Taiwan, with heavy rain possible in the northeast, Pingtung County, and other mountainous areas.
The Central Weather Administration provided a photo for the article, showing Ragasa's current location and projected path.
It's important to note that these storms are designated as storms No. 17 to 19 for this year. The three storms were named Mitag, Ragasa, and Neoguri.
