BEIJING—Doksuri, a tropical storm building over the sea to the east of the Philippines, is set to become a super typhoon as it hurls towards the coast of southern China, potentially making initial landfall in Taiwan.
The maximum wind speed near Doksuri’s eye could reach super typhoon levels of 58 meters per second, or 209 kilometers per hour, as the storm approaches the southern coast of Taiwan, according to the China Meteorological Administration on Monday.
