Typhoon Carina Live Tracker Map on Windy: Powerful Typhoon Gaemi Set to Make Landfall in Taiwan, Check Real-Time Status

Taiwan braced for Typhoon Gaemi (known as Typhoon Carina in Philippines) on Wednesday, closing financial markets, giving people the day off, and cancelling flights. The military was on standby as torrential rain and strong winds were forecast. Gaemi, the first typhoon of the season, is expected to make landfall on the northeast coast by early evening, according to the Central Weather Administration. Categorised as a medium-strength typhoon, it will likely cross the Taiwan Strait and reach southeastern China's Fujian province by late Friday afternoon. Work and school are suspended island-wide, and Taipei's normally busy streets were deserted during rush hour. The transport ministry reported nearly all domestic flights and 27 international flights cancelled. Gaemi, which was called Carina in the Philippines, did not make landfall in the archipelago but enhanced its seasonal monsoon rains. Typhoon Gaemi To Make Landfall in Taiwan on July 24, Defence Ministry Says Forces Ready To Continue Drills.
