Summary

edit
Description
English: Satellites and astronauts have observed Typhoon Trami on its march across the Western Pacific Ocean this week. As the storm now turns toward Japan, the country’s meteorological agency warned of the potential for heavy winds, rain, landslides, and flooding.

At 2:05 p.m. local time (05:05 Universal Time) on September 28, 2018, the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Aqua satellite acquired this true-color image of the storm. At the time, Trami was the equivalent of a Category 2 cyclone, with sustained winds of 165 kilometers (100 miles) per hour. It was located 380 kilometers (235 miles) south of Okinawa, Japan.

The storm has weakened slightly over the course of the week, peaking on September 24 with maximum sustained winds of about 259 km (161 miles) per hour. Forecasters suggest that the storm could regain strength before reaching Japan’s main islands over the weekend. The forecasted track puts the storm moving northward over Okinawa on September 29, then over the island of Honshu on September 30.

Trami will likely disrupt air traffic. The Naha airport in Okinawa planned to close its domestic and international terminals on September 29.
