Schools and offices were shut down across southern Taiwan as Typhoon Doksuri brought heavy wind and rain to the Taiwan strait and surrounding areas.

Doksuri weakened on Thursday, with sustained winds of 155 kilometres per hour and gusts of up to 190 kilometres per hour, according to Taiwan’s central weather bureau.

The typhoon’s centre isn’t expected to hit Taiwan’s mainland, but its outlying bands are expected to bring stronger winds and rains Thursday afternoon.

Doksuri began travelling toward Taiwan Thursday after battering the northern Philippines and whipping up seasonal monsoon rains in a large swath of the archipelago.

At least 21 people died and 40 people were rescued after a Philippines passenger boat overturned Thursday when it was lashed by strong winds southeast of Manila, police said.

The sinking has brought the death toll from the week of stormy weather across the main island of Luzon to 30.
