<p>Typhoon Gaemi&rsquo;s outer skirt was bringing heavy rain to much of Taiwan, where a direct landfall was expected Wednesday evening in the northern county of Ylan. Fishing boats were recalled to port amid turbulent seas, while air travellers were rushing to board overseas flights before the storm arrives, amid numerous cancellations.&nbsp;</p>
<p>On Wednesday morning, the typhoon was east of Taiwan moving at 18 kilometres per hour with maximum sustained wind speeds of 183 kilometres per hour, the Central Weather Administration said. In the capital Taipei, heavy rain was falling, but high winds had not yet arrived. Gaemi, <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/search/philippines-articles" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">which was called Carina in the Philippines</a>, did not make landfall in the archipelago but enhanced its seasonal monsoon rain.&nbsp;</p>
