Meteorologists anticipate that certain regions will receive as much as 100 cm of rainfall in the coming days. The typhoon is expected to arrive on the island with winds of 'destructive force' on 31 October.

Wave heights measuring up to five meters are currently being documented along the shores of Taiwan.

On October 31, certain regions will have school and office closures, leading to the cancellation of numerous ferry flights.

Taiwan's leader, Lai Ching-te, cautioned his people to be extra careful and not remain in mountainous regions or close to the ocean.
