A tropical depression is approaching Taiwan (China) and is expected to bring rain to the area in the coming days.
According to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA), at 3 PM on July 29, the depression was located approximately 335 km north of Itbayat, Batanes (northernmost Philippines), at coordinates 23.8 degrees north latitude; 121.8 degrees east longitude.
Meanwhile, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) of the US Air Force and Navy, which had previously named the depression Invest 97W, announced that there are currently no active tropical storm warnings in the region's seas and oceans.
According to this agency, the Invest 97W depression has dissipated, and there is no significant development of a tropical cyclone expected in the next 24 hours.
The Taiwan Central Weather Bureau (CWA) has recorded a low-pressure area approaching the eastern coast of Taiwan (China), but it is likely to weaken by July 30.
The agency forecasts that on July 30, most areas in Taiwan (China) will experience showers or light thunderstorms. However, areas such as Hualien, Taitung, and the islands of Penghu, Kinmen, and Matsu will have sunny weather during the day.
On the contrary, on July 31, most areas in Taiwan (China) will be sunny, with average temperatures ranging from 26 to 31 degrees Celsius. Meanwhile, popular tourist destinations such as Taipei, Tainan, and Kaohsiung will experience rain. Tourists planning to travel in this area will not face weather-related obstacles.
From August 1 onwards, for the next week, areas in Taiwan (China) will experience hot weather, with no rain at night, and average temperatures ranging from 27 to 36 degrees Celsius.
The low-pressure area near the East Sea is unlikely to strengthen into a storm. Tourists planning to visit these areas in the next 7 days can travel with peace of mind and do not necessarily need to change their itineraries.
However, as weather and climate conditions are becoming increasingly unpredictable, tourists should continuously update weather forecasts to adjust their plans, ensuring safety and a complete trip.
