it will slow down and stall near Taiwan before heading north and weakening as it passes Okinawa. that’s my best guess, five days out. water temps are still 28-29 all the way from Guam to southern Taiwan (that’s a country, BTW). then dropping off to 26-27 degrees from there northwards. ---

Taiwan is the country. Not Southern Taiwan, which might result from a Sudanese style anti Taipei uprising from Taichung southwards. But is not a country yet. ---

What kind of name is “Mawar”.

Btw: this is my First post on this Forum … Spent 10 years on Taiwan back in late 80s to 90s. Love the place… currently in Cebu Philippines. Cheers ---
