typhoon warning

Cyclone advisory notice

A typhoon warning is an official alert issued by meteorological authorities when a typhoon poses an imminent threat to an area.

Unlike a typhoon watch, which signals conditions are possible, a warning means dangerous conditions are expected soon—typically within 24 hours.

Residents are urged to complete preparations and shelter in place: The government issued a typhoon warning for the northern coast.
