This year’s No.9 typhoon "Maysak" was upgraded from typhoon level to strong typhoon level last night. At 5 o’clock this morning (31st), its center is located in the northwest Pacific Ocean about 530 kilometers east of Naha, Okinawa, Japan, which is 21.6 degrees north latitude and 128.8 degrees east longitude. The maximum wind force near the center is 14 (42m/s), and the lowest pressure at the center is 950 hectopascals.
It is estimated that "Mesak" will move to the north-west direction at a speed of 25-30 kilometers per hour, and gradually approach the southern waters of Ryukyu Islands. It will move into the southeast of the East China Sea in the early morning of September 1, and its intensity will continue to increase. The strongest can reach the super typhoon level (52-58 m/s, 16-17); After that, it turned to the north-east direction in the northern part of the East China Sea and moved to the south of the Korean Peninsula, and its intensity gradually weakened.
Gale forecast: From 08: 00 on August 31st to 08: 00 on September 1st, there will be 7-9 winds in the east of Taiwan Province, most of the East China Sea, the northeastern coast of Taiwan Province Island and the coastal areas of Zhejiang, among which the winds in the southeastern part of the East China Sea are 10-12, and the winds in the nearby waters where the typhoon center passes can reach 13-17, with gusts of 17 and above.
Defense guide:
1. Relevant departments shall, in accordance with their responsibilities, do a good job in typhoon prevention and emergency rescue.
2. Water operations and passing ships in relevant waters should return to Hong Kong to take shelter from the wind, strengthen port facilities, and prevent ships from anchoring, grounding and collision.
3. Stop large-scale indoor and outdoor gatherings and dangerous outdoor operations such as high altitude.
4. Reinforce or dismantle structures that are easy to be blown by the wind. Personnel should not go out at will. They should stay in windproof and safe places as far as possible, so as to ensure that the elderly and children stay in the safest place at home, and the dangerous people will be transferred in time. When the typhoon center passes by, the wind will decrease or stay still for a period of time. Remember that the strong wind will suddenly blow, and you should continue to stay in a safe place to avoid the wind, and the dangerous people will be transferred in time.
5. Relevant areas should pay attention to prevent flash floods and geological disasters that may be caused by heavy precipitation.
