It will die!

23

it will slow down and stall near Taiwan before heading north and weakening as it passes Okinawa. thatā€™s my best guess, five days out.

water temps are still 28-29 all the way from Guam to southern Taiwan (thatā€™s a country, BTW). then dropping off to 26-27 degrees from there northwards.

24

Did it claim independence from the rest of Taiwan? :wink:

To early to tell. But south might get much needed rain.

I seriously doubt even that ā€¦

27

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.

28

Actually, theyā€™d need to write a new constitution then, so that would be interesting!

29

The Republic of Zeelandia? Sirayaland?

If anyone needs more possible names for this fictitious nation, let me know! :grin:

What kind of name is ā€œMawarā€. I like the Philippineā€™s Name for the stormā€¦just no nonsense ā€œBETTY.ā€ I suffered though YOLANDA in Dec 2021 (HaiYan) and sure am Hoping Betty keeps tracking north to cool off and dissipate.

Btw: this is my First post on this Forum ā€¦ Spent 10 years on Taiwan back in late 80s to 90s. Love the placeā€¦ currently in Cebu Philippines.

Cheers

welcome to Forumosa

To answer your question the name Mawar is girlā€™s name of Indonesian origin meaning ā€œroseā€. is from the international list, the Philippines just do their own thing.

International names

There are some predictions that the whole thing will indeed implode to a tropical depression east of Taiwan, then move west straight over us.
That should bring a lot of rain without the wind ā€¦ Interesting prognoses ā€¦

It looks like it will just sit off the coast for 2 to 3 days. Itā€™s good that the reservoirs will be filled, but I just hope there wonā€™t be too much rainā€¦

So how are things looking with Super Typhoon Mawar? Hereā€™s one projection from the Central Weather Bureau.
