Tropical storm gathers speed, set to strike during weekend

By The Nation

 

 

The Thai Meteorological Department reported on Thursday (September 17) that tropical storm Noul, with sustained winds of 80 kilometres per hour, was expected intensify and make landfall between the cities of Hue and Da Nang in central Vietnam.

 

It will then hit the North and Northeast of Thailand over the weekend, and further strengthen with southwest monsoon winds across the Andaman Sea.

 

Torrential rain and strong winds are expected to lash the Northeast, before moving on to the North, Central, East and South.

 

People in risky areas have been warned of flash floods and runoffs, while generally the public has been told to avoid large trees and insecure buildings.

Wow nice ... but ... where does this picture of perfectly formed typhoon is from ... Typhoon Noul from 2005 maybe ... but not the one we are following ...

This kind of eyes is implicit of much more than 80km wing force !

This is what it looks like now, courtesy of Kochi University.

PS : and this is not a CAT3 or CAT5 typhoon, but a tropical storm, moving closely but surely to a Cat1 Typhoon maybe in north Vietnam.

Right over my house by the looks of it.. the wind speed doesn't appear to be extreme but I expect some heavy rain.. the bad news is we live in a low lying area.. 

Man the subs generals ????

The word "typhoon" doesn't  apply here. It's a tropical storm which will be reduced to a depression by the time it reaches north Thailand.

Send it to Pattaya. Mabrachan still at 30% capacity and municipal water is like a little boy peeing. 

 

It'll probably be a light breeze and couple of clouds, no rain.

Actually it's lost intensity, previously it had been expected to reach a category 1 typhoon, or in an earlier Thai report category 5. Current prediction is it won't develop beyond a tropical storm.

 

Still worth bringing the washing in, but maybe not battening down the shutters.

Ventusky has great graphics but its not very accurate due to the "modelling" they use, not as pretty but far more accurate is https://www.windy.com/-Rain-thunder-rain?rain,17.382,102.799,11 , they also have it heading my way so best start tying stuff down! 

We need the rain!

Storm hit here in KK around 4am.

Maybe we are getting the fringes already? it's been raining heavily for most of the night (still raining) in Surin province.

It doesn't look good for tomorrow morning 4 AM.. but then maybe Ubonrat will get some much needed water..

I'm 150km north of Chiang Mai nothing here only cloudy no rain yet. But a good time for sand bagging in the low areas.
