Tropical cyclones - update 17/7

Tropical storm Daniel, recently upgraded from tropical depression 5E, was located at position 12.4N 112.2W at 1500 UTC today. Daniel is moving W at 10 knots, 12 mph. He will become a hurricane late on Tuesday local time, and is expected to pack winds of up to 90 knots. This system is not expected to affect land at any time.

A new tropical system could form within the next 24-36 hours east of Daniel at position 10N 99W. Further advisories will be issued by the NHC as necessary.

In the Western Pacific, three tropical disturbances could develop into a significant tropical cyclone - if and when this happens, I shall report. These are located within several hundred miles of Guam, Manila and Iwo Jima.
