Typhoon Sarika to affect east and Hengchun / 莎莉佳撲台機率低 東部.恆春今晚變天　　　　　　　　　　

This year's 21st typhoon, Typhoon Sarika, passed through Luzon island last night, and caused one death and three missing. However, another tropical storm Haima is forming, with its strength and perimeter increasing by the hour. The Central Weather Bureau said that Typhoon Haima is currently 2,800 kilometers off the Cape Eluanbi and will not affect Taiwan until next Thursday. Taipei finally enjoyed a sunny day on Oct 15 after continuous rains that lasted over a week. The Central Weather Bureau said that the weather will also be sunny or partly cloudy all over Taiwan on Oct 16. Temperatures may even exceed 34℃ in western Taiwan. However, moderate typhoon Sarika will start affecting eastern Taiwan and the Hengchun Peninsula. ==HSU CHUNG-YI, Forecaster== Starting on Oct 16 to 18, the cloud system on the outer edge of the typhoon will affect Taiwan's weather. Particularly, the eastern region and the Hengchun Peninsula may experience thundershowers. The Central Weather Bureau said that Typhoon Sarika will pass through the Luzon island and enter the South China Sea tomorrow and will not make landfall in Taiwan. However, a mild typhoon, Haima will arrive right afterward. Typhoon Haima is currently still at sea, 2,800 southeast of the Cape Eluanbi, and moving west north-west at 20 km/hr. It is expected to affect Taiwan's weather next Thursday. ==HSU CHUNG-YI, Forecaster== On Oct 20 and 21, Taiwan may be affected by the air circulation on its outer edge. Its strength is still growing and may develop into a moderate or even severe typhoon. The cloud system at the outer edge of the typhoon will bring some rainfall in the northeast, north, and south Taiwan. Other regions may see some afternoon thundershowers.
