A very busy day, and not a very nice day at all across in Asia. We've got three storms you can see here.
This is Lionrock. This is Namtheun. And this one here, this is Kompasu.
I'm gonna start with Kompasu. You can see the eye very clearly there.
The smallest storm of the three in terms of mass of size, but certainly right now [it's] the strongest.
We've got winds nearly 170 kilometers an hour,
and if typhoons in this region were numbered and given categories the same way that hurricanes are in the Atlantic,
this would be a category 2, soon in the next 24 hours to become potentially a category 3.
Now you can see where it is in the East China Sea.
It's about 300 kilometers southeast of Kadena, Japan, and then it's gonna be pushing into the Yellow Sea
and expected to make landfall up into the Korean Peninsula,
but it's a strong enough storm that it will have an impact all the way along the east coast of China.
Certainly, Shanghai, you'll feel it, and possibly also through western areas of Japan,
so that's still a few days away from actually making landfall, but the effects already being felt.
Then we come to Lionrock.
Now we were saying yesterday about this one that the actual track [is] very uncertain here, and it still is up to a certain point.
We've got winds at about 100 kilometers an hour.
This one right now is about 390 kilometers to the southeast of Hong Kong, and you can see the forecast track.
So not moving particularly quickly and getting very close towards Taiwan,
so certainly feeling the effects there across much of Taiwan.
But then just off the northern tip about 40 kilometers to the northeast of Taipei we have just got this tropical storm Namtheun.
Now this is going to take a rather unusual track heading southwestwards down the Taiwan Straits,
and in fact, what's gonna be happening...
it's expected that the steering influences of this storm will actually be governed by the position of Lionrock.
So it's actually likely at the moment that they're sort of gonna come together and actually merge.
So, the forecast track thereafter is still a little bit uncertain.
