Hurricane update - 7 August

Focus on the Western Pacific, where typhoon Pabuk is making landfall on the southern side of Taiwan. The storm will pass over the island and come ashore in China. The obvious hazards, apart from high winds (hurricane force in Taiwan) is copious rainfall.

A second storm has just brewed up 400 miles east of Manila, and will pass south of Taiwan, but still having an impact there in the shape of galeforce winds and heavy rain. Landfall in China will follow a day later.

The Atlantic remains quiet, although a cyclone could form far offshore from Baja California in the Eastern Pacific.

  1. Linda feels bad for those people in Taiwan but is happy that typhoon's don't come to her part of the Pacific Ocean.  Linda in western Washington state
