Busy in the Pacific – Tropical storms off the coast of Japan

Two violent tropical storms are currently crossing the western Pacific Ocean. Halong, a powerful typhoon, is located east of Japan.

With wind gusts exceeding 124 mph, it continues to move out to sea.

Tropical Storm Nakri has weakened considerably. However, it continues to move towards Okinawa and Amami-Oshima Island, southwest of Japan's main islands. According to current forecasts, the storm is expected to intensify over the next few days, then veer eastwards towards the open sea.
