Typhoon Podul Set to Strengthen Before Hitting Southern Taiwan
Typhoon Podul is expected to intensify as the system tracks toward southern Taiwan, bringing heavy rain and damaging wind gusts before making landfall on Wednesday.
The typhoon was 730 kilometers (454 miles) southeast of Taitung City, packing top sustained winds of 119 kilometers per hour, according to Taiwan's Central Weather Administration. The relatively compact system is set to strengthen and expand its wind field slightly as it moves toward land, the agency added.
