Storms and Floods

Tropical Storms

In the Western Pacific:

Tropical storm Thirty was located 200 nm east-northeast of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. The final advisory has been issued on this system.

Category 5 Super Typhoon Haiyan is located approximately 54 nm north of Koror, Palau. Haiyan is forecast to strike the Philippines as a typhoon at about 04:00 GMT on November 8.

Haiyan is a spectacular typhoon with a tiny pinhole eye just 9 miles in diameter. With warm waters that extend to great depth, low wind shear, and excellent upper-level outflow, Haiyan will likely stay at Category 4 or 5 strength until landfall occurs between 03 - 06 UTC Friday in the central Philippine islands of Samar or Leyt
