Typhoon Trami has formed in the Pacific Ocean, and it may hit Taiwan and southern Japan.
Trami, known as Typhoon Paeng in the Philippines, is slated to strengthen to possibly a Category 5 typhoon by Sept. 25. It will remain over the open ocean, allowing it to strengthen.
Weather forecasters say that interests in Taiwan, Japan, and southeastern China should closely monitor this storm.
“Residents and anyone with interests across Taiwan and Japan need to keep an eye on this storm,” AccuWeather Meteorologist Rob Richards said.
“Trami is currently strengthening and looks to be a super typhoon within the next 12 hours,” CNN meteorologist Michael Guy wrote in the report. “The storm is forecast to continue to move towards the west-northwest and take a turn towards the north—the timing of the turn is still uncertain since that is a few days out.”
The formation of the storm comes about one week after Super Typhoon Mangkhut hit the Philippines (the top video shows Mangkhut hitting the Philippines last week), Hong Kong, and southern China. At least 100 people died in the storm, according to the CNN report.
