The Central Weather Bureau forecasts a slightly below-average number of typhoons near Taiwan in the second half of the year, approximately 2 to 4 storms. The anti-El Niño effect could lead to hotter summers in Taiwan, with typhoons forming closer to the island but potentially with lower intensity if they approach, resulting in fewer super typhoons. As of now, only 2 typhoons have formed in the northwestern Pacific, below the average of 4.3; typically, there are 21 to 25 typhoons in the region between June and December, with Taiwan usually affected by 3 to 5 of them. Overall, the anti-El Niño effect is contributing to a slightly reduced number of typhoons both in the region and near Taiwan compared to a normal year.
