EAST ASIA
Path of expected tropical storm Ester (or Mitag) from June 13, 2014 to June 18,2014
The season of tropical storms is upon us. The North Indian Ocean has so far disappointed us. In the Americas, only a piddly little Amanda was formed in the Eastern Pacific near Mexico.
The much vaunted west Pacific typhoon season is perhaps about to begin. SE Asia is infamous for its tropical storms. Last year if I have the facts right, the Pacific Ocean had been hurtling storms by the handfuls, one after another.
This year the account will open with the South China Sea. A low pressure area is likely to develop here off the Manila coast. On June 13, 2014. This system will slowly move northward turning into a depression. Taiwan is likely to get lots of rainfall on June 14, 2014. The depression will then intensify into a typhoon and turn in a NE direction. It will pass by Japan from below on the 16th of June and then move on to dissipate into the Pacific.
But the Japanese islands of Okinawa and Ryukyu are likely to bear the brunt of Tropical Storm Mitag on June 16, 2014.
June 16, 2014. Heavy rains in the Japanese island of Okinawa.
