A nasty one to start the season - departing Chuuk for Guam!
What weather service is that from?
1st pic is JTWC

2nd is NWS Digital
Aiming at Tinian
Since 0919z, no more updated wind info from Saipan Airport (METAR PGSN). Report 0928z of peak wind 030⁰ at 104kts.
You, or the Typhoon?
If you are in the area, be cautious and stay safe!!
Yes the typhoon! I’m oceans away!
(just interested as I had some Saipan involvement just before the last one - Yutu)
Now heading for Taiwan and mainland China:
Yes, peak wind is down but it’s HUGE.
In Taiwan/China, it’s going to be “wetter than a fish’s wet bits!”
6 months after their first typhoon/cyclone/hurricane of the year, the Marianas (probably Guam this time) are about to get another - Champi.
… as Mexico gets its 3rd in a row - Trudy.
And of course Hurr>Typh Nolo, which went all the way E>W.
How many in the total E-to-W Pacific this year?
Oh, by the way, S Pacific is getting its first of the season already.
What fun - El whatchamacallit…
