        "content": "<p>Taiwan shut down almost all of its territory on Friday (23 October\n2026) as it braced for Super Typhoon Champi, which is expected to bring\nstrong winds and heavy rain.<\/p>\n<p>Taiwan\u2019s Central Weather Administration (CWA) said Champi was a super\ntyphoon and one of the strongest storms in the Pacific this year. It\ncould bring gusts of around 191 kph (119 mph).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe storm was about 330 km (205 miles) east of the southern tip of\nTaiwan,\u201d the CWA said, according to Reuters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe forecast track shows the storm passing north-east of Taiwan,\nturning north towards the coast of China and eventually moving towards\nsouthern Japan,\u201d it added.<\/p>\n<p>The government said the storm had a radius of about 320 km, large\nenough to cover most of Taiwan. Weather experts said its effects could\nlast for almost two days.<\/p>\n<p>Taiwan\u2019s Ministry of Transportation said all 262 domestic flights\nwere cancelled on Friday. More than 350 international flights were also\ncancelled.<\/p>\n<p>As of the time of reporting, heavy rain was falling in the capital,\nTaipei, but public transport, including the metro, was operating as\nusual, albeit with reduced services. Taiwan is generally well prepared\nfor typhoons, which helps keep the death toll low.<\/p>\n<p>Although typhoons occur more frequently in summer, they can also\nstrike in autumn. The storm was expected to pass first over Yonaguni,\nJapan\u2019s westernmost inhabited island, in Okinawa Prefecture.<\/p>",
