Hurricane update - 25 November

The Philippines are surrounded by three cyclones at the moment. Typhoon Mitag is about to graze the northern tip of Luzon, the northernmost island, with winds of 100 mph. Six people have already lost their lives as a result of high winds, heavy rainfall, floods and landslides ahead of its arrival.

Tropical storm Lando / Hagibis is on its way back from Vietnam, but will probably be little more than a depression by the time it passes through the archipelago. It will wave hello to the third system, which is just forming east of the islands.

Vanuatu has a tropical depression forming in its midst as well, but no major problems are anticipated from that in the short term.
