TYPHOON "RAMIL" (Lupit)
The 20th tropical storm in the West Pacific has intensified and become a Typhoon. A typhoon is a tropical storm with sustained winds in excess of 119 km/h or approximately 74 mph. If this storm were in the Atlantic, it would be called a hurricane.
As a service to my clients and blog readers we will provide updates on this storm as details become available. We have also provided links to useful websites for tracking this potentially dangerous storm.
If necessary, ship advisories will be posted in this blog post. For anyone traveling in the Western Pacific Ocean, we suggest that you closely monitor this tropical storm.
Unlike the storms in the Atlantic, tropical storms in this part of the globe are monitored by several local agencies. We'll include updates from them and provide other links to help you obtain the latest information about this storm and any impact to land or sea.
