Typhoon Saola strengthened overnight as it continued its path across the Pacific early Wednesday and headed for China’s southern coast.
The typhoon was moving northwest with sustained winds of 191 kph and gusts of up to 234 kph , according to Taiwan’s Central Weather Bureau and is now considered a strong typhoon. The typhoon’s eye won’t hit Taiwan’s mainland, but will hit the island’s southern cities with its outer bands. The weather bureau also warned of heavy rain and strong winds in Taiwan’s southern cities, and especially southern Pingtung county. The typhoon is currently traveling directly south of Taiwan, in the Bashi Channel, the band of ocean that separates Taiwan and the Philippines.So far the storm has not caused major damage as it passed by the Philippines earlier this week, though thousands were displaced when it brought heavy rains and flooded low-lying areas in northern Philippines.
The typhoon is expected to hit southern Fujian and Guangdong provinces in China’s south on Friday. China’s National Meteorological Center said the storm is expected to weaken as it approaches land.
