the dark clouds were rolling in as it was getting dark and now the rain is beginning in PAK Kret - I wonder if we are in for 12 hours of it

StrontiumDog · 30-09-2009, 11:05 PM

Rain in Bangkok, not a lot, but steady.

The circulation centre of the now dissipated typhoon emerged into the gulf of Thailand this evening. It is still rotating but disorganised. Unlikely to regain strength but you never know. It seems Vietnam took the brunt, but it rapidly lost strength. By the time Isaan got it, the high clouds had gone and it doesn't appear to have been as bad as some suggested.

Update, in BKK it has been raining non-stop for around 6 hours. Prettily heavily at times too. Not heavy enough for floods here, but maybe elsewhere.

Another one heading to Jesusland.

Thanks for the sat link. We've been getting an unusually heavy rainfall in Ranong.

Amazing one out off of China and Japan today. Looks like something meaner than a cat 5 to me.

Super Typhoon Melor has been the strongest storm anywhere in the world this year, but it's now weakening and wont hit land.

Parma, which hit the north of Luzon, is still hanging around there, in a weak steering environment, but it is quite a weak tropical storm now.

Nothing else about yet..

the main sat pic on the first page isn't coming in well at the moment. There is another small twister storm developing just off the Philippines.

Small twister storm??
That looks like one bloody big typhoon headed my way.
The weather here ( Macau) has been particularly eerie today.

Rattanaburi · 21-10-2009, 08:35 PM

Touching the northern Philippines now it seems.

StrontiumDog · 21-10-2009, 11:15 PM

The JTWC is tracking it to hit strengthen again in the south China sea and maybe hit Vietnam, but they keep getting it wrong lately...

Rattanaburi · 28-10-2009, 03:50 PM

Another one. Mirinae heads west right through the Philippines.

Asia keeps getting wacked but on the other side of the world there has been nothing in the Caribbean this year.

StrontiumDog · 29-10-2009, 04:06 PM

Mirinae seems to be losing strength recently, much of the deep convection has diminished. Still it is on course to make landfall in Vietnam and bring, at the very least, clouds and some rain to Isaan and maybe even Bangkok. The seas have cooled considerably though and it's quite possible it will fizzle out!

StrontiumDog · 30-10-2009, 12:57 AM

The deep convection has reappeared and some! JTWC has upgraded the typhoon...looks like it might be a bit of a nightmare...

Rattanaburi · 05-11-2009, 07:29 AM

Not Asia but one in latin America may go up to the states...

Yeah, formed quickly too! No idea if it will survive land interaction though and the sea temperatures aren't very high....

Mr R Sole · 05-11-2009, 01:51 PM
