Hurricane update - 20 November

Two tropical cyclones are affecting southeast Asia at the moment. Hagibis has traversed the Philippines as a tropical storm, and will make landfall in southeastern Vietnam on Friday, with winds of 55 knots / 62 mph. The main problem will be excessive rainfall.

Another tropical storm, Mitag, will be at typhoon strength when it makes landfall in the eastern Philippines on Friday, with winds of 65 knots / 73 mph. The Philippines weather agency PAGASA will issue warnings nearer the time of landfall. Please note that the Philippines will use a different name for Mitag.
