JMA assigns a high forward speed
JMA, the Japan Meteorological Agencies measures a forward speed of already 35 km/h. The predicted central pressure is dropping much faster than expected yesterday. JMA expects a pressure of 975 hPa for coming Friday. Winds are expected to be 110 km/h near the center and gusts may be up to 155 km/h.
US Navy expects much stronger winds
The JTWC (Joint Typhoon Warning Center) expects wind speeds of 105 kts = 195 km/h and gusts up to 130 kts = 240 km/h early on December 6 (Philippines Standard Time)
Tropical Storm HAGUPIT landfall area
It is still to early to predict the area where the future Typhoon HAGUPIT will make landfall. The different meteorological agencies still differ by about 100 miles. But it seems that the Typhoon will hit somewhere between northern Surigao and Samar.
We now monitor the future Typhoon HAGUPIT very closely. With every hour of forward movement the forecasts will become more reliable. We expect to publish our next outlook end of this afternoon.
Do not forget to be prepared otherwise you may prepare to get forgotten!
