Typhoon Champi, a Category 5-equivalent storm identified by NASA as one of the strongest cyclones of 2026, continues to pose a significant threat to East Asia. The storm has recorded sustained winds near 296 km/h with gusts exceeding 227 km/h, maintaining a large wind radius of approximately 300 to 320 kilometers. As the typhoon swept past Taiwan’s northeast coast, the impact intensified. While the typhoon center narrowly missed direct landfall—passing just 1 kilometer from the coast near Nan'ao—its outer circulation caused widespread disruption. The death toll has reached at least one, and injuries have risen to approximately 350. In Yilan County, rainfall exceeded 400mm on Friday. Destructive winds toppled trees and cut power to thousands of households, while more than 4,300 residents were forced to evacuate high-risk areas. The Central Weather Administration (CWA) issued heavy rain warnings for multiple counties and cities, and a level-three emergency response center was established in Kinmen County to prepare for wind gusts of up to level 9. As the storm moves northward and begins to weaken, it is approaching the waters near Jeju Island and southern South Korea. While a direct landfall on the Korean Peninsula is considered unlikely, Jeju Island and the South Korean Ministry of the Interior and Safety have activated emergency response protocols. Jeju expects rainfall of 50–100mm, with mountainous areas potentially seeing over 150mm. Authorities are focusing on flood prevention and inspecting high-risk areas, including riverbanks and coastal lowlands. Forecasters expect the storm to move toward China and Japan, potentially affecting Okinawa and mainland Japan in the coming days.
