  • HK issues typhoon warning as storm Lionrock approaches Hainan


    The Hong Kong Observatory issued typhoon warning signal No 3 on Friday (Oct 8) morning as tropical storm Lionrock moved toward the vicinity of Hainan Island.

    The signal, issued at 4:40am, means that winds with mean speeds of 41 to 62 kilometers per hour were expected in Hong Kong.

    "Under the combined effect of Lionrock and the northeast monsoon, winds are generally strong over the coast of southern China with occasional gales offshore and on high ground," the observatory said in its weather bulletin issued at 12:45pm.

    The typhoon signal No 3 is expected to remain in force today and overnight tonight, the HKO said.

    At 1pm, Lionrock was estimated to be about 610 km southwest of Hong Kong and is forecast to move north at about 10 kilometers per hour towards the vicinity of Hainan Island.

    The heavy rain associated with Lionrock brought heavy showers and squalls to the territory, prompting the observatory to once issue the highest black rainstorm warning at 11:45pm on Thursday. The signal was lower to red about an hour later.: https://www.thestar.com.my/aseanplus...roaches-hainan

    • Tropical Storm Kompasu to bring rain to east Taiwan after weekend



      After Tropical Storm Kompasu forms Friday (Oct. 8) evening, it will move into the Bashi Channel separating Taiwan from the Philippines, bringing rain to the eastern part of the country following the weekend, according to forecasters.

      Another tropical storm, Lionrock, has formed near the Chinese island of Hainan and will move off into Vietnam, staying far away from Taiwan, the Central Weather Bureau said.

      Tropical Depression No. 21 was expected to turn into Kompasu, the 18th tropical storm of the season, later Friday east of the Philippines. Over the following days, it would move on a westerly course, arriving in the Bashi Channel just south of Taiwan early next Tuesday (Oct. 12), according to forecasters.

      Even though the storm was unlikely to hit Taiwan directly, it could bring rain to the Hengchun Peninsula in Pingtung County, to the entire east coast, and to north Taiwan beginning Monday (Oct. 11), the final day of the three-day Double Ten holiday. The rainy weather was likely to expand to the whole country on Tuesday (Oct. 12) and last until at least Wednesday (Oct. 13) as the storm moves away in the direction of Vietnam.: https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/4309597

      • All provinces in Thailand told to brace for tropical storm “Lion Rock”

        The Thai Ministry of Interior has ordered all provincial governors to be prepared for heavy rain from tropical storm “Lion Rock”, which is forecast to make landfall in northern Vietnam tomorrow or Monday.

        According to the Thai Meteorological Department, “Lion Rock”, packing winds measured at 65kph at its centre, is moving in a north-westerly direction this morning (Saturday) into the Tonkin Bay, from Hainan Island, and is expected weaken to an atmospheric depression.

        This will cause more rain to fall in the north-eastern region of Thailand.

        Meanwhile, the south-westerly monsoon is gaining strength in southern Thailand, the Andaman Sea and the upper part of the Gulf of Thailand and this will bring isolated heavy rain to southern Thailand, according to the Weatherman.

        Small vessels have been advised not to venture out to sea due to the rough conditions, with waves 2-3 meters high in the Andaman Sea, 1-2 meters high in the Gulf and higher waves in areas hit by storms.

        Provincial governors have been instructed to form rapid mobile units to cope with any disasters caused by the storm.

        The governors were also told to order the evacuation of people to safe areas if the situation becomes serious. Sea travel during the storm will be banned.

        The governors can also seek help from the military if the situation warrants their assistance.: https://www.thaipbsworld.com/all-pro...orm-lion-rock/

          • Tropical Storm Maring completes merger with Nando's remnants

            Tropical Storm Maring (Kompasu) finished merging with the remnants of Tropical Depression Nando late Sunday morning, October 10, and shifted north northwest over the Philippine Sea.

            The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said Maring was already 730 kilometers east of Tuguegarao City, Cagayan.

            The tropical storm accelerated, moving at 30 kilometers per hour from the previous 10 km/h.

            It maintained its strength, with maximum sustained winds of 85 km/h and gustiness of up to 105 km/h.

            But PAGASA said Maring may intensify into a severe tropical storm within 24 hours. (READ: FAST FACTS: Tropical cyclones, rainfall advisories)

            • Tropical Cyclone Kompasu causes deaths, landslides, flooding in Philippines

              At least nine people were killed and 11 others were missing after heavy rain across the Philippines flooded villages and triggered landslides, authorities said on Tuesday.

              Severe Tropical Storm Kompasu drenched swathes of the most populous island of Luzon on Monday as it swept across the archipelago nation towards the South China Sea. Nearly 1,600 people were evacuated.

              Four people were killed in landslides in the landlocked mountainous province of Benguet, and one person drowned in the coastal province of Cagayan, the national disaster agency said.

              Seven people were missing on Luzon island.

              “Eleven municipalities were flooded but it subsided this morning,” said Cagayan provincial information officer Rogelio Sending.

              Major highways and bridges were flooded, he said, but the water was retreating on Tuesday.

              The storm intensified the southwest monsoon, sparking a flash flood in a village in the western island province of Palawan, leaving four people dead and the same number missing.

              “Around seven to eight barangays [villages] are still flooded … due to clogged drainage or lack of drainage,” said Earl Timbancaya, a disaster officer in the city of Puerto Princesa on Palawan. “But it’s subsiding now.”

              Kompasu was packing maximum sustained winds of 100km/h and gusts of up to 125km/h as it moved away from the northern Philippines, the weather bureau said.

              Kompasu was expected to exit the Philippines on Tuesday and was headed to Hainan, China, the bureau said.

              “Within the next 36 hours, the storm is forecast to gradually intensify but is becoming less likely to reach typhoon category prior to making landfall over Hainan Island,” it said.



              Presidential spokesperson Harry Roque said in a statement that rescuers were being despatched to affected areas.

              “Rescue personnel and teams from the local government units are on the scene as we assure all requests for rescue and assistance are being acted upon by all relevant agencies,” he said.

              “Support from the Armed Forces of the Philippines, the Philippine Coast Guard, the Philippine National Police and the Bureau of Fire Protection are likewise mobilized and deployed,” he added.

              Hong Kong is expected to raise its typhoon signal No 8 between on Tuesday afternoon, and all school classes have been cancelled.

              The Philippines is hit by an average of 20 storms and typhoons every year, which typically wipe out harvests, homes and infrastructure in already impoverished areas.

              Because a warmer atmosphere holds more water, climate change increases the risk and intensity of flooding from extreme rainfall.

              The strongest typhoon to hit the Philippines was Typhoon Haiyan, which killed more than 6,300 people and displaced more than 4 million in November 2013.: https://www.scmp.com/news/asia/south...lides-flooding

              • Big bomb cyclone is set to wallop the West Coast

                A beast of a bomb cyclone will take shape just off the coast of the northwestern United States and western Canada later this week, and AccuWeather forecasters say it will rival, in some aspects, the intensity of strong hurricanes from the Atlantic this season.

                The powerful storm will bring dangerous and damaging impacts up and down the West Coast, but the precipitation it will deliver to parts of California, Oregon and Washington is greatly needed.

                The storm will have some tropical origins. Energy from former Severe Tropical Storm Namtheun, which churned over the western Pacific, will join forces with a non-tropical system sitting over the northern Pacific on Wednesday, according to AccuWeather meteorologist Randy Adkins. Rapid strengthening will result. As the storm comes together a few hundred miles off the coasts of Washington and British Columbia, its intensification could easily surpass the criteria for bombogenesis.

                Meteorologists define a bomb cyclone as a rapidly strengthening storm with a central pressure that plummets by 0.71 of an inch of mercury (24 millibars) or more within 24 hours. The process is referred to as bombogenesis. As the pressure drops rapidly in the center of the storm, air rushes in to replace the vacuum created in the atmosphere and can produce damaging winds.

                The central pressure of the storm is forecast to dip to about 28 inches of mercury (948 millibars), putting the bomb cyclone at or even below the intensity level of Hurricane Larry, which was a long-lived and intense cyclone that churned across the Atlantic in early September. At peak strength, Larry was a major Category 3 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 125 mph and higher gusts. Its central pressure dropped as low as 28.20 inches of mercury (955 millibars).

                It will not, however, come close to the strength of Hurricane Ida, which, at its peak, was a strong Category 4 storm with a minimum central pressure of 27.43 inches of mercury (929 millibars).

                Damaging winds are possible from the northwestern tip of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, and the Haida Gwaii archipelago in British Columbia as the storm rapidly intensifies at midweek. In this area, wind gusts of 40-60 mph are expected as the storm's associated cold front charges eastward, Adkins explained.: https://www.upi.com/Top_News/US/2021...4591634673594/

                • 'Bomb cyclone' brings severe wind warnings to Vancouver Island

                  Most likely you weren’t tracking Typhoon Namtheun while it was churning in the western Pacific Ocean throughout the second week of October.
                  After all, that was happening hundreds of kilometres away and didn’t impact our days. It’s sure going to impact us now.

                  The remnants of this typhoon have been lingering off the coast and waiting to make a move. That move is being made and will deliver quite the punch for many parts of the West Coast as it develops into a powerful low-pressure system.

                  This rapidly intensifying low is a bomb cyclone.

                  You may be asking, what’s that? A bomb cyclone is a low-pressure system that drops its pressure 24 millibars or more in 24 hours or less. This particular system could double that pressure drop, which makes it a powerful and intense storm system.

                  Conditions will ramp up starting early Thursday in the overnight period.

                  Wind warnings have been issued by Environment and Climate Change Canada running through the day Thursday. North Vancouver Island and the southern region of the Central Coast should prepare for southeast winds steady in the 80-90 km/h range and gusting up to 110 km/h.

                  The west coast of the island, including Tofino, Long Beach and Ucluelet, will deal with steady southeast winds at 70-80 km/h and gusting to 100 km/h.

                  On the east coast, from Courtenay to Campbell River, southeast winds of 70 km/h are expected Thursday afternoon and overnight.: https://vancouverisland.ctvnews.ca/b...land-1.5631119

                  • Minimal impact to Seattle from 'bomb cyclone' but rain on the way tonight

                    SEATTLE -- A so-called "bomb cyclone" that is spinning off the coast of Washington state will have a minimal impact on weather for the Seattle area but the storm has brought hurricane-force winds to the northeast Pacific Ocean and waves approaching 15 feet tall.

                    "We are tracking the strongest storm in the northeast Pacific since April 2012, but it is a near miss for Western Washington," KOMO News meteorologist Kristin Clark said. "The storm stays clear offshore and heads due north into British Columbia Canada."

                    LATEST: Multiple downed power lines are blocking 25th Ave NE between NE 177th St and NE 178th St. Shoreline Fire says two people were trapped in a vehicle but were safely extracted and no injures were reported. Wind apparently blew a tree into the power lines, pulling them down. More than 1,000 people in the area were without power Thursday evening.

                    The storm was 500 miles off the coast of Washington and according to Clark has "a distinct curlicue of clouds around a deepening area of low pressure."

                    The National Weather Service has issued a gale warning for the state's coastal areas and parts of the Cascades lowlands could see strong winds of up to 40 miles per hour, including Issaquah and North Bend. Clark said the winds will gradually diminish between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m.

                    Sunshine returned to Seattle for the midday and the area could see near-record high temperatures, Clark said.

                    Light rain is expected to push inland into Seattle around 7 p.m. before turning heavier during the late night hours, according to Clark.

                    The high temperature in Seattle is expected to top out in the upper 60s, flirting with the record of 72 degrees. The low will drop to the mid-50s.

                    Clark said the weather models predict a stronger windstorm that is expected to arrive Sunday night into Monday. The blustery conditions could do some damage, according to Clark.: https://komonews.com/weather/minimal...he-way-tonight

                    • US west coast braces for ‘atmospheric river’ as huge storm brews

                      A huge Pacific storm is poised to unleash conditions known as an “atmospheric river”, with torrential rains and strong winds putting about 10 million people at risk of flash floods in parts of northern California this weekend.

                      The incoming tempest has raised fears of mudslides, especially in areas charred during record-setting wildfires this summer.

                      Some parts of the Pacific north-west, including coastal Oregon, are also expected to see heavy rains and winds, the Bloomberg news website reported.

                      Much of the Bay Area around San Francisco could see 3-3.5in of rain, with up to 8in expected at higher elevations in the region, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. The region could see wind speeds from 20-25mph , with gusts potentially hitting 60mph at higher elevations.

                      “A HIGH Risk of excessive rainfall is in effect for portions of northern California tomorrow,” the National Weather Service said in a tweet on Saturday, explaining that the storm “will produce rainfall of 8-10in in the region, leading to significant and life-threatening flash floods and mudslides, particularly over burn scar areas.”: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...river-flooding

                      • More than 600,000 without power as bomb cyclone brings hurricane-force winds, heavy rains to Northeast

                        More than 600,000 homes and businesses were without power across the northeast Wednesday as a wall of hurricane-force winds and heavy rains hammered the region.

                        The storm, categorized as a nor'easter for the northeasterly winds blasting along the coast, was forecast to complete a counterclockwise loop Wednesday night, extending adverse conditions in New England and Long Island, New York, AccuWeather predicted.

                        Forecasters said the storm had undergone a period of rapid intensification known as bombogenesis – when the central pressure of a storm drops by 0.71 of an inch of mercury or more over a 24-hour period to become a "bomb cyclone."

                        Two similar storms that formed in the Pacific Ocean within the last week were blamed for torrential rains, high winds and mudslides across much of California. Remnants of those storms touched off tornadoes and severe weather in Missouri and was fueling the East's weather chaos.

                        More than 500,000 power customers in Massachusetts and 5,000 in Rhode Island were in the dark Wednesday. Another 40,000 were without power in New York, Connecticut and Maine, according to the website poweroutage.us.

                        "Dangerous situation early this morning," the National Weather Service tweeted Wednesday. "Winds gusting over Hurricane Force across southeast MA. Numerous downed trees and over 400K power outages in MA alone. TRAVEL IS NOT RECOMMENDED."

                        Wind gusts approaching 90 mph were recorded on Martha's Vineyard. Scituate, 30 miles southeast of Boston, had a gust of 84 mph.

                        In Connecticut, power lines came down on a school bus headed to Middletown High School on Wednesday morning. No injuries were reported. In New York, the body of kayaker Laurence Broderick, 45, who went missing off Long Island was recovered Tuesday near the Bronx after being spotted in the water by a helicopter search crew, Coast Guard officials said.: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/...ds/8564274002/

                        • Southern Italy braced for rare Mediterranean hurricane

                          Southern Italy was braced on Wednesday for the arrival of what forecasters have described as a Medicane – a rare Mediterranean hurricane bringing winds of more than 100kmh and producing 5-metre waves.

                          Fierce storms have battered Sicily for days, leaving roads submerged in the eastern part of the island and claiming the lives of at least two people. Video footage shows flood waters engulfing the city of Palermo, turning streets into rivers and squares into lakes.

                          Italy’s department for civil protection issued its most severe weather warning for Sicily and Calabria on Tuesday, as Italian authorities confirmed the death of a 53-year-old man who drowned in Gravina, a town north of Catania. The death comes after the body of a 67-year-old man was found on Monday in Scordia. Rescuers are still searching for his 54-year-old wife.

                          On Tuesday, Catania’s mayor, Salvo Pogliese, called the weather events “unprecedented” and ordered the closure of all businesses.

                          “I urge the entire population to not leave home except for emergency reasons, because roads are overrun by water,” he said on Facebook.

                          Forecasters have said the Medicane is the latest evidence demonstrating how the climate emergency is irremediably tropicalising the Mediterranean.: https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...nean-hurricane

                          • Dozens killed after heavy rains in India, Sri Lanka

                            Dozens have been killed after heavy rains poured down on parts of India and Sri Lanka.

                            Authorities said at least 41 have died amid flooding and landslides in the two countries, Reuters reported on Thursday.

                            Officials in Sri Lanka said 25 were killed during the deluge, with most drowning. At least five people were injured by landslides.

                            The disaster management minister for the Indian state of Tamil Nadu, Sattur Ramachandran, said 16 people had died.

                            Thousands of people in India had to move from low-lying areas to find safety from the rain and flooding, according to Reuters.

                            “The public should not go out,” Greater Chennai Commissioner Gagandeep Singh Bedi said on New Delhi Television on Wednesday, according to The Associated Press.

                            Officials in both nations are expecting for the rain to slow down in the next few days while communities are working to rebuild.

                            Some areas in India are reportedly using pumps to drain communities that were flooded.: https://thehill.com/policy/internati...ndia-sri-lanka

                            • 'Unprecedented' storm moves over southwestern Newfoundland

                              A severe rainstorm is moving over southwestern Newfoundland, in what meteorologists are predicting will be an "unprecedented" weather event.

                              "For me, this is my first time seeing a rainstorm like this. It's almost eerily similar to kind of what happened to B.C. just a few weeks ago, with the atmospheric river just pumping lots of moisture into the air," said Veronica Sullivan of Environment Canada's weather office in Gander.

                              "I don't think we'll see as bad an impact here as what happened in B.C., but still it's going to be something to watch and it's going to break a lot of weather records."

                              She said the Port aux Basques area can expect 150 to 200 millimetres of rain on Tuesday, and in areas with higher terrain, more than 300 millimetres is expected.

                              Sullivan said some weather models suggest the rain total could even reach 400 millimetres in high-elevation areas, and while the actual rainfall may be much less, the water will flow downwards from mountain areas and could significantly affect water levels below.

                              "It's going to be something to watch. Torrential rain, really gusty winds. It's really not going to be a good time to be travelling down there," she told CBC Radio's St. John's Morning Show. "[It's] very likely that there will be some washouts and localized flooding."

                              Close to 30 millimetres of rain has fallen in the area as of 5:30 p.m. NT, but totals are expected to ramp up through the night and into Wednesday.: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfo...torm-1.6259208

                              • At least 35 dead after heavy rain batters south India

                                At least 35 people have been killed and dozens more remain missing after heavy rains battered parts of southern India, destroying houses and flooding roads, officials said Monday.

                                Flash floods triggered by consistent heavy rain killed at least 32 people in Andhra Pradesh, according to the state's government. The rainfall began late last week, submerging highways and roads, while completely isolating some villages and blocking access to food and water, CNN affiliate CNN News18 reported.

                                At least 30 people remain missing, officials said.

                                Relief efforts in Andhra Pradesh are ongoing with 16 national and state disaster teams deployed to evacuate stranded residents, officials said. Nearly 58,000 people have been evacuated from their homes to 294 relief camps in the state, they added.

                                In neighboring Karnataka state, at least three people have died, disaster management official Tushar Giri Nath said Monday.

                                "People are mainly residing in their relatives' places. We are arranging for food for them," Nath said, adding that 150 homes had been damaged by the rain.

                                The rainfall was triggered by a cyclonic circulation in the Arabian Sea and low pressure areas in the Bay of Bengal, according to India's Meteorological Department. It is likely to move toward the coast of southern Tamil Nadu state in the coming days, it added.

                                Rainfall across the region is expected to decrease over the coming days but is forecast to pick up again later in the week, according to the department.

                                Parts of southern India have recently experienced spells of extremely heavy rainfall.

                                Earlier this month, heavy rain in Tamil Nadu killed at least 16 people, while many parts of the state's capital, Chennai, were waterlogged, Reuters reported. Government officials used pumps to drain water in some communities where residents were stranded waist deep, it added.: https://edition.cnn.com/2021/11/22/i...hnk/index.html
