Hi, friends, there has been another big news in the weather world recently - Typhoon "Gemei" is coming towards us with great momentum. This typhoon is on a similar route to the previous Doksuri, and it intends to become the "wind king" of the Northwest Pacific this year, so we have to work hard to deal with it.
Let's take a look at the itinerary of "Gemei" first. From the 24th, the Taiwan side will be affected, then Fujian, Zhejiang, then Jiangxi, Anhui, then Henan, Shandong, and finally Hebei, Beijing, Tianjin, Liaoning, Jilin. Along the way, it is estimated that more than 10 provinces and municipalities will have to welcome this "uninvited guest".
How powerful is "Gemei"?
"Gemei" is a big guy, its cloud body is quite large, the center is very dense, and the structure is not very symmetrical. As it continues to grow, the power of this typhoon also escalates step by step. Be aware that it can bring extreme rainfall as it heads north, especially for those who have experienced Doksuri before, and don't take it lightly.
Timeline of specific impacts
Let's take a look at where "Gemei" will do things:
- Taiwan: 24th to 25th.
- Fujian, Zhejiang: No. 25 to No. 26.
- Jiangxi, Anhui: No. 26 to No. 27.
- Henan, Shandong: No. 27.
- Hebei, Beijing, Tianjin: No. 27 to No. 28.
- Liaoning, Jilin: No. 28 to No. 29.
The Fujian region should pay special attention
For the villagers of Fujian, you have to pay special attention to the strong winds in the fishing grounds and coastal sea areas. On the 24th, the wind may reach force 10 to 14, or even greater. On the 25th, the winds will continue to strengthen, and some areas may reach strong winds of 10 to 14. On the 26th, although the wind has weakened, it is still not to be underestimated.
In addition, from the 24th to the 26th, there will be heavy rain to torrential rain in some parts of Fujian, and even extremely heavy rain. Therefore, everyone must do a good job of wind and flood prevention in advance and avoid going out as much as possible.
