The satellite picture in the header looks less menacing than the previous one? Sorry, this is visual interpretation of an infrared image. These pictures show the humidity of the atmosphere. Less violet means less water in the air. But the cyclone is advancing. Latest data says that Typhoon KOPPU/Lando central pressure is still decreasing and currently at 655 hPa.
