When will the CWB issue a land warning for typhoon?
A land warning will be issued if the typhoon’s radius of sustained winds of 34 knots or greater is going to hit the land of Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen, and Matsu in 18 hours. The land warning will also be reissued every 3 hours while the typhoon center is located every hour. The 18-hour lead time is set to allow all the safety actions to get ready. During typhoon strikes, the public should refer directly to the latest typhoon information issued by the CWB and not believe or spread rumors.
