TYPHOON Tembin, which drenched southern Taiwan last week before heading out to sea, appeared to be looping back yesterday for another run at the island and the nearby Philippines, forecasters said.
The revisit comes after another storm about 1,200 kilometers to the northeast, Typhoon Bolaven, lashed the Japanese island of Okinawa. It injured five people and left 66,500 households without power as of yesterday afternoon, but did less damage than feared before moving north into the East China Sea.
Bolaven could affect coastal areas of South Korea today, weather officials said.
Taiwan weather officials predicted Tembin would make landfall early this morning in the same part of southern Taiwan where it dumped more than 500 millimeters of rain three days ago.
Tembin, packing winds of 119 kilometers per hour, will likely skirt the eastern Taiwanese coast before moving north toward the Chinese mainland, the bureau said.
In Manila, typhoon warnings were reissued.
