CWA Forecasts Heavy Rainfall with Land and Sea Warnings for TyphoonFung-Wong
The Central Weather Administration is warning of significant rainfall, after
both land and sea warnings were issued for Typhoon Fung-Wong.

The CWA warns that the interaction between the typhoon's outer bands and a
northeast monsoon will significantly intensify rainfall.

Officials say rainfall will be persistent (持續的) and heavy in the
mountainous areas of greater Taipei, eastern Taiwan, and the Hengchun
Peninsula.

Residents are urged to avoid mountain areas due to the risk of landslides,
falling rocks, and surging rivers.

And strong winds and high waves are expected along coastal areas, with waves
possibly reach three to five meters, or more in southern and southeastern
areas.

The public is advised to avoid coastal activities as much as possible.

The land warning currently covers Tainan, Kaohsiung, Pingtung, Taitung, and
the Hengchun Peninsula.

The storm is currently located some 360-kilometers southwest of Eluanbi at
the island's southern most tip and is moving in a north-northeasterly
direction at 12-kilometers-an-hour.

The storm has a radius of 230-kilometers and is packing sustained wind speeds
of 108-kilometers-an-hour, with gust of up to 113-kilometers-an-hour.

The typhoon is expected to come closest to Taiwan between tomorrow afternoon
and evening, before moving out to sea east of Taiwan early Thursday morning.



Belarus Threatens to Seize Trucks After Lithuania Border Closing
Belarus’ authoritarian leader is threatening to seize over 1,000 Lithuanian
trucks stranded (被困住) in the country following the closure of its border
with Lithuania after repeated incursions (侵入) by air balloons carrying
smuggled cigarettes.

Lithuania, a NATO and European Union member, closed the two border crossings
with Belarus on Oct. 29 after weather balloons flying from Belarus caused
repeated disruption ( 干擾、中斷) of air traffic at the Lithuanian capital’s
airport.

The border will remain closed until at least the end of this month.

Lithuanian officials cast the balloon disruption as part of anti-Western

IMO Pushes for Less Fossil Fuels in Shipping
The head of the International Maritime Organization says he’s continuing to
“advocate and campaign” for global regulations to move the shipping

IMO Secretary-General Arsenio Dominguez spoke at one of the first side events
at the U.N. climate negotiations that began Monday on the edge of the
Brazilian Amazon.

The event was held to discuss the shipping industry’s efforts to slash
carbon pollution by transitioning (轉變) away from fossil fuels.

Maritime nations were set to adopt the first global carbon fee on shipping
