Super Typhoon Chedeng (UPDATE)


The image was taken by NASA's Aqua satellite.
Two other satellites co-managed by NASA and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency found heavy rainfall and high thunderstorms in the super typhoon.
One storm in the cyclone's western side reached heights close to 16 kilometers on Tuesday, NASA said.
The eye of the super typhoon measured almost 28 kilometers wide.
Aside from strong winds, Chedeng is carrying heavy rainfall near its center in excess of 50 mm per hour, according to NASA data.

State weather bureau PAGASA on late Tuesday night said Chedeng is now packing maximum sustained winds of 205 kilometers per hour and gusts of up to 240kph.
The US Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) forecasts Chedeng to peak at 287 kph before weakening.
The JTWC's latest track expects Chedeng to make landfall in Aurora province on Sunday and exit the Philippines through Pangasinan

Super Typhoon INTERNATIONAL NAME “MAYSAK”

A typhoon approaching the Philippines intensified further Tuesday morning but is still not expected to immediately affect the country until the weekend.
State weather agency PAGASA said that as of 10 a.m., Maysak was some 1,820 km east of Northern Mindanao.
In its 11 a.m. advisory, PAGASA said Maysak packed maximum winds of 175 kph and gustiness of 210 kph and is forecast to move west-northwest at 20 kph.
"This typhoon is still too far to affect any part of the country. It is expected to enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility (Wednesday) evening or Thursday early morning and will be named Chedeng," it said.
Once it is inside the PAR, it will be locally codenamed Chedeng.

Super Typhoon Maysak, one of the strongest cyclones in history during the months of January, February and March, has already slammed several Micronesian islands on its way to the Philippines.
Maysak will continue to strengthen during the next 12-24 hours as it moves westward across the Pacific Ocean. Though passing to the north of Yap, flooding rain and significant damaging winds will still be possible.
Maysak first developed into a tropical storm on Friday while located across Micronesia, southeast of Guam. The storm has continued strengthening since and will remain a large and dangerous typhoon as it tracks westward toward the Philippines this week.
