Satellite images captured between Wednesday (October 21) and Thursday (October 22) showed Typhoon Champi churning towards Taiwan.

Champi was packing maximum sustained winds of 184 kph and gusts of up to 227 kph, according to Taiwanese media reports.

As of 8 a.m. local time (0000 GMT) on Thursday, the storm was about 560 kilometres southeast of Eluanbi, Taiwan's southernmost point, the Central Weather Administration said.

Champi is forecast to weaken as it approaches land, though strong winds and heavy rain are expected across Taiwan and southern Japan on Friday (October 23) and Saturday (October 24), Taiwanese media reported.
