TYPHOON NARI (SANTI) UPDATE NUMBER 014
Issued at: 8:00 AM PhT (00:00 GMT) Sunday 13 October 2013
Typhoon NARI (SANTI) has left the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) while maintaining its generally straight but fast westerly path towards Central Vietnam...intensified slightly during the past 12 hours.
Meanwhile, a large and powerful Typhoon internationally named as WIPHA continues to move closer towards the northeastern border of the PAR. As of 5:00 am today, its eye was estimated about 1,635 km E of Santa Ana, Cagayan or 1,665 km ESE of Basco, Batanes (near 18.2N 137.6E). The system is moving north-northwest at 13 kph in the general direction of the sea south of Japan. Various forecast models suggest this system will briefly enter the PAR on Monday before making a complete recurvature. Due to this, Wipha will not affectly any part of the Philippines.
Residents and visitors along Hainan Island and Central Vietnam should closely monitor the development of Nari (Santi).
