Invest 92E is an area of disturbed weather in the East Pacific that has the potential for further tropical development.
In the Western Pacific:
Typhoon 06w (Nida), located approximately 49 nm northwest of Hong Kong, is tracking west-northwestward at 15 knots.
Hundreds of flights were cancelled, schools and shops shut and the stock market closed for the day as the storm brought violent winds and torrential showers. Gusts of 151 kilometres (93 miles) per hour whipped the city and rain lashed down during the night, leaving three people injured and a trail of fallen trees and torn-down scaffolding. The storm triggered a Typhoon 8 signal -- the third-strongest category -- which was taken down a notch around midday Tuesday as winds eased and the typhoon passed onto mainland China. It was the strongest typhoon to hit the Pearl River delta in 30 years. Pictures showed roadside trees blown over, murky brown water filling the streets and a skyscraper with several glass panels blown off. After sweeping past Hong Kong, Nida made landfall early Tuesday in the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen, with winds still blowing at up to 151 kilometres per hour.
