A growing typhoon is sweeping across the Pacific Ocean toward the Philippines, with forecasters warning it could strengthen into a supertyphoon and press on towards Taiwan, Hong Kong or mainland China later this week.
Typhoon Doksuri began as a tropical storm in the Western Pacific on Sunday morning, according to the United States’ Joint Typhoon Warning Center. By the end of the day, it had been upgraded to a typhoon with maximum winds of 230 kilometers per hour , according to Philippines weather agency Pagasa.
The typhoon could pass over the island of Taiwan; it could swing south, missing Taiwan and hitting the southern coast of China’s Guangdong instead, including Hong Kong; or it could go north, largely sparing both. The observatory said the typhoon’s final trajectory will be guided by a variety of factors, such as subtropical ridges that bring high atmospheric pressure, or monsoon troughs that bring low pressure.
