TAIPEI—Taiwan braced for Typhoon Bailu on Friday, prompting cancellations of domestic flights amid warnings of floods and high seas on the island.
Typhoon Bailu, categorized at the weakest typhoon level by Taiwan’s weather bureau, was expected to approach off the island’s southeastern coast early on Saturday, Aug. 24. It was moving across the ocean in a northwesterly direction at 24 km per hour (15 mph), weather officials said.
