Storms and Floods

Tropical Storms

In the Atlantic Ocean:

Fernand has moved inland over Mexico and is currently located sixty miles from Veracruz, Mexico. The system is ninety miles from Tuxpan, with maximum winds of 30kts. TS Fernand is moving slowly towards the NW at 8kts.

Fernand is expected to weaken and eventually dissipate over the next 12-18hrs over Mexico.

In the Western Pacific:

Tropical Storm Kong-rey has formed. Its centre of circulation is offshore but thunderstorms are bursting on the southwest side of that, which could result in heavy rain in the flash-flood-prone northern Philippines.

Kong-rey (Nando) is expected to accelerate toward Japan by later this week but weaken and become non-tropical in the process.

NewsBytes:

A rain-triggered landslide in Yiliang in Yunnan province, China damaged part of the People's Hospital, Monday morning. Patients and residents were evacuated. No casualties have been reported.
