Koinu, now a category three typhoon, is likely to weaken to a
category two by the time it makes landfall on Taiwan's far
southeast coast late on Wednesday, according to Tropical Storm
Risk.
The heaviest rain will fall along mountainous and sparsely
populated parts of Pingtung county in the south and the east
coast counties of Taitung and Hualien.
Some flights and ferries to outlying Taiwanese islands have been
cancelled as winds build.
After passing through Taiwan, the typhoon will head towards
southern China's Guangdong province where it is likely to weaken
further to become a tropical storm.
