Newtalk新聞 薔琵颱風逐漸遠離台灣，但準備前往日本、韓國旅遊的民眾可得注意了！氣象粉專「台灣颱風論壇｜天氣特急」指出，薔琵今（25）日預計通過東海，隨後朝日本九州一帶移動，受到颱風環流與東北季風交互作用影響，韓國濟州、釜山，以及日本九州、關西等地區，未來幾天天氣仍不穩定，可能出現大雨或局部強降雨，提醒近期有出國計畫的民眾，務必留意當地天氣預報、航班及交通異動資訊。 而就在薔琵逐漸遠離之際，另一個煙花颱風也持續增強！氣象粉專指出，煙花今（25）日有機會增強為中度颱風，未來巔峰強度甚至可能達到強烈颱風等級。不過，雖然煙花強度不容小覷，但目前預測路徑對台灣相對有利。 根據最新系集預測路徑圖顯示，煙花颱風通過關島附近後，預計沿著太平洋高壓邊緣朝西北方向移動，隨後逐漸轉向北方、東北方。從各模式模擬結果來看，多數路徑顯示，煙花將在台灣東方遠海北轉，靠近台灣及日本的機率都極低。 不過，氣象粉專也提醒，颱風後期路徑仍有不確定性，尤其北轉的時間、位置與角度，都可能隨著太平洋高壓勢力變化而調整，仍須持續觀察最新預報資訊。延伸閱讀：薔琵颱風遠離！花東防大雨 周二及周六兩波東北季風接力報到薔琵才解陸警「煙花」就生成！超強聖嬰發威狂冒颱風 預估冬季強度達巔峰最快下午解除陸警、北部仍防豪雨 天氣粉專:薔琵已不成颱樣！薔琵還沒走又有新颱風！「煙花」最快明生成 未來天氣趨勢一圖看薔琵颱風移速砍半「時速20驟降至9公里」！專家揭3原因：非單純減弱
