The authority said that if the low strengthens it could grow into a typhoon with strong winds and heavy rain, urging caution for shipping and fishing, and that it could expand to a land warning depending on track and intensity.

Taiwan is affected by several typhoons each year from summer into autumn, and its mountainous terrain heightens landslide and flood risks when heavy rain concentrates.

The authority advised checking drainage facilities and preparing early evacuation for residents in low-lying and mountainous areas, and urged fishing boats to return early and outdoor activity to be curtailed.

Climate change is noted to be intensifying typhoons and making them harder to predict, raising the importance of early warning and rapid-response systems.
