Taiwan was the only country to predit the correct path of Typhoon Lupit. It has went west for the past few days and will switch to go northeast for time in the future. Several other countries such as US and China have been despicably flawed as they said Typhoon Lupit would so west and north west. Japan predicted the typhoon will go North which is a little more accurate.
Technicians say that typhoon predictions are based on current situations as well as experience so predictions may not always be exact. Taiwan, this point in history, has numerous experiences with typhoons and thus has gained the capability to accurately predict future paths, trends, and possibity of typhoons.
Lupit will slow but storms will proceed and rains will pour until after the 25th of October.
"As the Pacific high pressure system dissipates and the storm continues to slow down, it could change course Friday or Saturday and move in a more northerly direction toward Taiwan, the bureau said."
Northeast Taiwan and terrestrial regions of North will be affected at least 130mm of rain a single day.
We should congratulate the weather department for accurately predicting the route of the typhoon.
ReplyDeleteThe amount of rainfall is still a variable the department has to conquer.
Great job for the US to copy the Taiwan bureau's prediction. Great job for copying the China Post article.
ReplyDeletelol thomas.
ReplyDeletethe weather is hard to predict, as there is always exceptions in our misterious nature. To estimate the movement and conditions of a typhhon is even harder becuase no testing device could really approach or get into the typhoon. But congraculations fo the CWB for having a correct forecast that definitely helps us.
