• Typhoon Podul approaching Taiwan with potential for rapid intensification before landfall

    Typhoon Podul is forecast to make landfall near Taitung City, southeastern Taiwan, on August 13, 2025, bringing heavy rainfall, strong winds, and coastal flooding across much of Taiwan, southern Japan, and northern Philippines over the next 48 hours. It is then expected to make a second landfall along the south-central coast of China and potentially penetrate deep inland.
