Typhoon Podul prompts schools and offices to close in Taiwan, with heavy rains expected
TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) — Typhoon Podul prompted schools and government offices to close in Taiwan on Wednesday, with authorities on the lookout for heavy rains that could bring more damage to agriculture in the region. It was unclear how serious the storm would be, with high waves and winds over much of the east coast but no major rain as of yet. On Wednesday morning, Podul was southeast of the island, moving at 155 kilometers (96 miles) per hour, and was expected to make landfall later in the day before moving swiftly across the island's southern tip, according to the Central Meteorological Agency. Such storms typically hit the east coast hard before losing strength as they pass over the Central Mountain Range before continuing toward the Chinese coast. Podul's skirt measured 120 kilometers (75 miles) across and was expected to broaden even while losing strength as the storm moved westward across the Taiwan Strait. The areas affected are well south of the capital, Taipei, along with Taiwan's main international airport and high-tech industrial base. Around a dozen flights that would have traveled south toward the path of the storm were delayed or canceled. The counties and cities of Tainan, Kaohsiung, Chiayi, Yunlin, Pingtung and Hualien on the east coast and the island group of Penghu in the Taiwan Strait are expected to take the brunt of the storm. Along with flooding, typhoons routinely damage fruit and other cash crops and bring landslides through the island's center. Much of central and southern Taiwan was badly hit by heavy rains in recent weeks that caused severe damage to crops but minimal casualties, while also knocking out electricity to rural areas that took weeks to repair. Recovery crews are on alert due to recent heavy rains.

A glacier outburst is underway in Alaska. It could send a wave of water downstream toward Juneau
A wave of water gushing out of an Alaskan glacier is threatening significant, potentially record-breaking flooding in Juneau for the third consecutive August. 'A glacial outburst has occurred at Suicide Basin. The basin is releasing and flooding is expected along Mendenhall Lake and River late Tuesday through Wednesday,' Juneau officials said in a Tuesday news release. 'Officials recommend residents in the 17ft lake level inundation zone evacuate the area until the flood waters recede.' Glacial lake outbursts happen when a lake of melting snow and ice and rain 'drains rapidly — like pulling out the plug in a full bathtub' after pooling up so high it overtops the glacier that holds it back, according to the city of Juneau. In this case, it's due to the Mendenhall Glacier and its counterpart, dubbed Suicide Basin, which run up against the western portion of Juneau, about 10 miles from the city's center. The National Weather Service issued a flood warning for the area Tuesday morning, noting the Mendenhall River, which runs along the west side of the city, will rise multiple feet Tuesday and Wednesday. The river is set to crest around 16.6 feet Wednesday afternoon, which would blow past the record level set just last August. Last year's glacier outburst caused the river to surge to 15.99 feet, unleashing destructive flooding in Juneau that impacted more than 100 homes. City officials characterized the flood severity as 'unprecedented.' The river level in 2024 topped the one reached during 2023's early August glacial flood by a full foot. Officials urge residents to prepare Juneau installed a flood barrier along the area that was inundated in 2024, a city spokesperson told CNN. There are roughly 1,000 residents and businesses in that part of the city, but no mandatory evacuations are in place at this time, the spokesperson said. Officials are urging everyone in the inundation area to evacuate before river levels peak. 'This is likely to become a life-threatening situation. If you are told to evacuate, stop what you are doing and immediately go to an emergency shelter or another safe location,' said Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski in an X post Tuesday. On Sunday, Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy issued a preemptive disaster declaration to better streamline emergency response efforts to the outburst. 'By issuing this declaration before the flood occurs, we can position state resources and personnel in advance to support local and tribal governments in their efforts to protect lives, homes, and essential services,' Dunleavy said in a statement. 'Our goal is to act early to reduce impacts and preserve community safety.' The Mendenhall River was very close to moderate flood stage — Level 3 of 4 — not long after the glacial outburst began late Tuesday morning. Major flood stage — Level 4 of 4 — is forecast to begin early Wednesday afternoon and continue until around midnight, local time, before water starts to recede on Thursday. The capital of Alaska, Juneau has a population of about 33,000, according to the the US Census Bureau. The city is surrounded by coastal waters to the west and south. Why does this keep happening? The glacial lake outbursts have become a regular occurrence since 2011 and have worsened considerably each year since 2023. They are yet another consequence of climate change due to fossil fuel pollution. The Arctic, including Alaska, is warming twice as fast as the rest of the planet as global temperatures rise. This is causing glaciers, like these in Alaska, to thin or melt altogether. Part of the once icy expanse of the Suicide Basin has been replaced by an earthen divot that gets filled up like a bathtub each summer, setting the sequence in motion. Rising temperatures have severely reduced the expanse of the Mendenhall Glacier and its Suicide Basin, creating the annual glacial lake outbreak hazard as ice gets replaced by liquid water. CNN's Eric Zerkel and Zenebou Sylla contributed to this report. Solve the daily Crossword

Chinese Thermal Coal Hits 5-Month High on Heat and Disruptions
Power plant coal prices in China have risen to the highest level since March, as downpours in mining areas disrupt output and scorching heat in cities boosts cooling demand for the fuel. Spot prices in Qinhuangdao, the country's benchmark, rose to 678 yuan ($94) a ton this week, the highest since March 17, according to China Coal Resource. Prices are up 11% since their four-year trough in June, which was hit after record output in the first half of the year lifted inventories, and the expanded use of renewables caused generators to burn less coal.
