China confronts diminishing tropical depression 'WUTIP': Take warning, says TMD
Head's up, folks! Tropical Storm WUTIP ain't what it used to be, but it ain't over yet. The Thai Meteorological Department (TMD) has issued a fresh update, and here's the lowdown.
According to their weather advisory no. 22, as of 4pm yesterday, WUTIP was chilling over Jiangxi, China, packing around 55 km/h sustained winds. It was moving northeast at a speed of 28 km/h, and the TMD predicts it'll weaken into an active low-pressure cell.
The TMD's advice? Keep your eyes peeled for weather updates and always check conditions before hitting the road. And remember, if the situation changes, they'll issue notice pronto.
Now, here's a bit more to chew on. The storm has already progressed beyond its tropical depression phase and been upgraded to a severe tropical storm. As of now, it's expected to head north-northwest and eventually track north-northeastwards towards mainland China.
In the short term, WUTIP is forecast to strengthen over China, but by the afternoon of June 14, it's predicted to weaken, suggesting its impact will lessen. But, don't count it out yet. There's still a slight chance it might make a landfall over Northern Vietnam.
As for regional impacts, Macao might see some warning signals due to WUTIP's proximity. A Typhoon Signal No.8 might be on the cards, but the chances are relatively slim. All eyes are on China and Vietnam, though, as they can expect some significant weather impacts, including flooding and strong winds, especially in South China.
To stay ahead of the game, keep your ears open for official meteorological updates from agencies such as the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA), the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC), and local weather services. Stay safe, folks!
