Hurricane update - 20 May

Typhoon Yutu is currently heading northeast across the Pacific, with winds near the centre of about 105 knots or 120 mph, gusting to 130 knots / 145 mph. The system is starting to weaken, but I need to mention that the Japanese island of Iwo Jima will receive a direct hit from the typhoon early on Tuesday (GMT), with winds of 65 knots / 75 mph.

This week is hurricane awareness week in the USA, and I strongly recommend anyone who might be affected by hurricanes to click the link and follow the programme of education by the NHC.
