Follow-Up: Super Typhoon Champi's Track Still Uncertain; Observatory Expects Unsettled Late-Week Weather for Hong Kong
Super Typhoon Champi continues to move across the western North Pacific, and the Hong Kong Observatory said in a special weather tip that the storm's subsequent track remains uncertain: it may cross the Luzon Strait area into the South China Sea, or it may recurve northward over the seas east of Taiwan. The Observatory said it would assess the impact on Hong Kong based on Champi's path, forward speed and the arrival of a monsoon replenishment. Subsiding air from the typhoon is keeping the south China coast very hot and dry early in the week, but winds are expected to strengthen later in the week with squally showers and swells as the storm draws closer. GSM previously reported that Champi brushed the southern tip of Guam over the weekend; the Philippine weather bureau expects it to enter the Philippine area of responsibility by Tuesday, while Taiwan's weather agency may issue sea and land warnings on Tuesday and Wednesday nights.
