In the Western Pacific:
Tropical storm Hagibis is located approximately 146 nm east-northeast of Hong Kong. It has made landfall and weakened significantly. The remnants are forecast to re-emerge over the East China Sea but are not expected to regenerate. The final warning on this system has been issued.

South Africa - flooding in Cape Town has affected more than 8,000 people in Khayelitsha, Strand, Vrygrond, Lotus River, Gugulethu, Delft and Philippi areas.
Russia - As Friday the 13th’s luck would have it, a devastating tornado hit the Sakhalin Region in Russia’s Far East, ripping off roofs, knocking down trees and power lines, cutting electricity for nearly 20,000 residents.
Brazil - Two days of near non-stop rain have dumped a month's worth of precipitation on the World Cup city of Natal, leading to a flood alert and raising worries that the deluge could affect the U.S. team's debut match against Ghana. No deaths or injuries have been reported in the rains, which began early Friday and abated only on Sunday, dumping in 50 hours as much rain as is usually seen in the northeastern Brazilian city during the entire month of June.
