Tourists planning to visit Taiwan (China), eastern China or northern areas of the Philippines in the coming days should pay special attention due to the impact of Typhoon No. 2 Today.
Although Typhoon No. 2 Danas has weakened after making landfall in Taiwan (China), its path still carries the risk of heavy rain, strong winds and affecting aviation operations, especially at airports in Taipei, Kaohsiung, Fujian and northern provinces of the Philippines.
In addition, in the Philippines, rain caused by the southwest monsoon still occurs widely, which can cause flooding, flight delays or obstruct road travel, especially in the Ilocos, Zambales, Bataan, Manila and northern mountainous areas of the Philippines.
Tourists should closely monitor weather reports, update their schedules from airlines, and limit travel to areas with warnings of heavy rain, flash floods or landslides during this time.
