Hurricane update - 17 December

December 17th, and still hurricanes about? Well, it's a typhoon actually, and it's in its embryonic stages. For the moment, Trami is a tropical depression, some 400 miles west of Guam. It is making for the Philippines, which will have to swallow its 5th typhoon in recent weeks. Current forecasts, very long-range so not too reliable, suggest winds of 75 knots, that's 85 mph when the centre of the typhoon makes landfall in northern Luzon Island on Thursday. The below image shows Trami at 15.56 GMT (that's 10.56 EST or 23.56 local time). This image will be automatically updated.

Please pass word around - the Philippine weather agency is off-line today.
