Prapiroon became the first typhoon of the current phase of activity in the Western Pacific, somewhat unexpectedly, and could strengthen a little more in the small amount of time it has before it makes landfall in northern Vietnam, near Ha Long. The storm has also turned much further west of earlier forecasts, and is now expected to continue to run westwards into northern Vietnam and into the rest of Indochina. Rainfall is expected to exceed 400mm.
Tropical Storm Gaemi is much larger, and is intensifying more slowly as it tries to consolidate its core. However, strengthening is expected to resume shortly and Gaemi should become a typhoon soon, and continue intensifying towards major typhoon status. Gaemi is expected to make landfall in Taiwan on Wednesday or Thursday and could still be a Category 3 by that point. Rainfall is the primary concern from the storm, with totals possibly reaching 1500mm in the southern half of the mountains. Additionally, a further 500mm is expected in northwestern Luzon, which is already flooding.
Elsewhere, an area of interest in the Eastern Pacific could become a tropical depression or storm later in the week as it slides westwards, but is not expected to contain any strength by the time it reaches Hawaii next week.
