Hurricane update - 14 August

The Big Island of Hawaii is subject to a tropical storm warning and a hurricane watch. More comprehensive details of advice on preparations (not finished yet??) and the warnings &c can be found on this link from the Central Pacific Hurricane Center.

Typhoon Sepat is curving round for a rendez-vous with the island of Taiwan in 4 days' time. It will bring winds of around 100 mph to the south of that country.

Tropical depression 4 is more than 1,500 miles from the Windward Islands, so any forecast for its future track are highly speculative. It won't reach the islands for another 4 days, but is expected to be at hurricane intensity by that time.
The tropical disturbance at the Yucatan Peninsula is anticipated to become a tropical depression later today. As I said yesterday, if you're in Mexico or Texas, monitor closely through the National Hurricane Center.

I summarise tropical cyclone information more extensively on a separate blog.
