Weather bureau issues sea warning as Typhoon Matsa roars toward Taiwan
The Central Weather Bureau (CWB) yesterday issued a sea warning for Typhoon Matsa, saying that the weather in Taiwan would be affected by its approach today and tomorrow. Forecasters reminded residents in mountainous areas of possible heavy rains in the following days.
Matsa, the name of a fish in Laos, is the ninth typhoon this year in the region. Forecasters said yesterday that residents in central and southern parts of Taiwan -- which had suffered from serious floods caused by the passage of devastating Typhoon Haitang two weeks ago -- would experience similar rainy days.

According to Lin Hsiu-wen (???), deputy director of the bureau's weather forecast center, Matsa had developed from a tropical storm into a typhoon and whether its center would pass over Taiwan remains uncertain.
