▼Typhoon No. 25 November ‌12th (Tuesday) 15:00
Center east ‌of the Philippines
Move northwest 30 km/h
Central pressure 990 hPa
Maximum wind speed 25 m/s (near ⁣centre)
Maximum ⁤instantaneous wind speed 35 m/s

Typhoon No. 1 is expected to​ continue. 25 continues‌ to grow and move west, and will ‍become a strong force around the 14th‍ (Thursday) as it ‍approaches Luzon Island in the Philippines. After that, he ​changed his course to ‌the north, and ⁤there was a chance that he would reach Okinawa by the weekend.

However, ⁣the forecast circle is much larger ‌on the 17th (Sunday) than up ⁣to the 16th (Saturday), indicating uncertainty in the path.

Typhoon No. 24 west and⁣ will​ develop from around the 14th (Thursday). It ⁢is expected to‍ become a ​very ‍strong force⁤ from the 16th (Saturday)⁣ to the 17th ⁢(Sunday) as it approaches‌ the Philippines. When it reaches the vicinity of⁣ Luzon‌ Island in the Philippines, there​ is great uncertainty about its​ course, so we need ⁣to keep an eye on its course.

Typhoon No. 23 made landfall ​in the Philippines, dumping heavy ‍rain, and is now moving towards the ⁣South China Sea.‌ It is expected to continue moving westward as it weakens and turns into ‌a tropical cyclone near Hainan Island.

Typhoon No. 22 became a tropical cyclone at 3:00 pm

This is the first typhoon in three days since Typhoon⁤ No. ⁢23 and Typhoon No. 24 on the 9th (Saturday) of this month,⁢ and the fourth from ‌the beginning​ of this month. The average ​number of typhoons in ​November is 2.2, and although typhoons are still not uncommon, this year the number of typhoons is particularly⁤ high.

Although the number of typhoons making landfall and making landfall decreases ⁣after November, there are records of typhoons⁢ making landfall on Honshu at ⁢the end of November, ‌so we cannot ‌let ⁢our⁤ guard down yet.

Regarding the names of typhoons found in the ‌Northwest Pacific Ocean or the ⁢South China Sea, 140 names were⁢ prepared in advance, recommended by‌ the member countries ⁢of the international organization “Typhoon Commission”, and are⁣ given in the order they ⁢occur.

China⁢ proposed ​the name “Yinxing” ⁢for Typhoon No. 22 and is derived from the name‌ of⁢ a tree (gingko).

Hong Kong proposed the name ⁤“Man-yi” for Typhoon No.⁢ 24 and was ​taken from the name of the strait which is now a reservoir.

Japan proposed the name “Usagi” for Typhoon No. 25 ‌and is derived‌ from⁢ the constellation Rabbit.

Interview: Understanding Recent Typhoon Activity with ​Meteorologist ⁣Dr. Anna Tanaka

Time.news Editor: Welcome, Dr. Tanaka! Thank you for‌ joining us today to discuss the⁤ recent developments concerning Typhoon No. 25‍ and the other ‍tropical systems affecting the region.

Dr. Anna‌ Tanaka: Thank you for having me!⁤ It’s ⁢a critical time for weather ⁣patterns, ⁢and I’m glad to share insights on these storms.

Editor: To start, can you ‍give ‌us a⁢ brief overview of Typhoon No. 25’s current status⁣ and projected path?

Dr. ‌Tanaka: Absolutely. As ⁣of November 12th, Typhoon No. 25, which ​has been named Usagi, is ‍located east of the Philippines.⁣ It is currently moving northwest at⁢ around‌ 30 kilometers per hour, with a central pressure⁢ of 990 ⁣hPa. Its maximum ‌wind speed near the⁤ center is 25 m/s, which⁢ equates​ to impressive winds of about 90⁣ km/h.

Editor: It sounds powerful! How ‌are forecasters predicting its movement, ⁤and what uncertainties do they ⁣face?

Dr. Tanaka: Great ⁢question. Meteorologists ‌use ensemble ⁣forecasting techniques, which involve running multiple simulations ​with slightly varied initial conditions to anticipate⁤ a storm’s path. The predictions for Usagi show two⁢ main potential paths after it reaches Luzon⁤ Island—one⁣ is a westward trajectory​ through the South​ China Sea, while the other⁢ suggests a northeast course toward Okinawa. The larger forecast circle by the 17th⁢ indicates‌ a higher​ degree of ⁢uncertainty, underscoring⁢ the challenges we face in predicting such storms.

Editor: ‍ So, given this uncertainty, what should residents in Okinawa and nearby regions ⁤be aware of right now?

Dr. Tanaka: Residents should remain vigilant. The forecast indicates that there’s a significant chance‌ of Typhoon No. 25 impacting Okinawa by the weekend, with probabilities from 32% in the ‍Miyakojima region to as high as 47% for Yonagunijima. Keeping up with regular​ updates from the Japan Meteorological Agency is⁤ essential, as conditions ‍can change rapidly.

Editor: In the context of Typhoon​ No. 25, we’ve also seen Typhoons 23 and 24 affect ⁢the Philippines. Can you highlight ⁣how they differ from Usagi?

Dr. Tanaka: ⁣Certainly!​ Typhoon 23 has already made landfall in the Philippines, causing significant rainfall​ before ⁢moving ‍into the South China Sea, where it is expected to ‌weaken‌ into a tropical cyclone. On the other hand, Typhoon ⁢24 is ‍forecasted to strengthen further before also approaching Luzon around the 14th. The situation⁢ is‍ dynamic, ⁢and residents⁤ in the Philippines are facing their own ‍set‌ of challenges due‍ to these ⁢concurrent storms.

Editor: It ⁢seems like‍ a particularly busy season for tropical cyclones. How do you see climate change influencing typhoon ⁢activity in the coming ⁤years?

Dr. Tanaka: Current research suggests that climate change is ⁢likely intensifying ​storm activity and increasing​ rainfall⁣ amounts, which‍ can lead to⁣ more severe flooding events during⁣ typhoons. Warmer​ sea surface temperatures provide more energy for storms, potentially leading to stronger systems. As the climate ⁣continues​ to change,​ we may see greater variability in storm tracks and intensities, emphasizing the need for improved forecasting and preparedness.

Editor: Those are critical insights. What advice would you give to individuals living in typhoon-prone areas to⁢ stay‌ safe?

Dr. Tanaka: Preparation is key. Residents should have an emergency kit ready, including water, food, flashlights, ​and medical supplies. Stay⁤ informed through ⁣reliable weather channels and ⁣apps, and have an evacuation⁤ plan ⁣in ⁣place if necessary. It’s important⁣ to act quickly ​and not wait until the last minute when⁤ the storm is imminent.

Editor: Thank you, Dr. Tanaka, ⁣for your expert analysis and useful⁤ advice. We truly appreciate your time‌ and knowledge during this⁣ hectic weather season.

Dr. Tanaka: Thank⁤ you for having me!⁣ Stay⁢ safe and informed out there.

Editor: Absolutely. We’ll continue to​ monitor the situation and provide updates as they‍ become⁢ available.
