A tropical cyclone, Typhoon Ragasa, has prompted the Government of Canada to issue a serious warning for travellers headed to Asia. The Japan Meteorological Agency describes Typhoon Ragasa as a "large" and "violent" storm, with a maximum wind gust speed of up to 288 km/h. "The storm is likely to bring excessive rainfall and violent winds, including in northern Luzon." Canada's updated advisory reads, "Typhoon Ragasa is expected to gain super typhoon strength and affect the southern coast of Taiwan, in the Pingtung County, on or around Sept. 22, 2025. "Residents living on high floors should prepare for severe impacts from hurricane-force or higher winds," reads the statement.
