Gaemi is the strongest typhoon to hit the island in eight years.
The storm is expected to bring more rain across Taiwan, with offices and schools closed for a second day on July 25.
The storm is forecast to unleash intense rainfall over much of China after fuelling severe weather from the Philippines to Japan’s Okinawa islands with its giant cloud bands, which spanned most of the western Pacific Ocean. Chinese weather forecasters said Typhoon Gaemi will pass through Fujian and head inland, gradually moving northwards with less intensity. But weather forecasters are expecting heavy rain in many areas as it tracks north.
Taiwanese television stations showed pictures of flooded streets in cities and counties across the island. Offices and schools as well as the financial markets closed for a second day on July 25, while train services were stopped until 3pm, and all domestic flights and 195 international flights were cancelled.
Most flights were cancelled at airports in Fuzhou and Quanzhou in Fujian, and Wenzhou in Zhejiang, according to the VariFlight app.
