TYPHOON SEASON

Pinoy Boat Service
Port Carmen, Cebu
Philippines

Not even a week and another post! We had read about the fact that the Philippines is the most prevalent area in the world for cyclonic storms better known in this area as typhoons. In the USA it would be hurricanes. As we have been here for a 18 months we now have first hand experience. Well the last one just went through to our north and off to China. We now sit and watch the next systems head our way. I normally look at three separate weather sites each morning to gather what information is out there on what the future holds for us. Some days I just report to Kathy "no significant weather". Others such as today I give her a look at the computer and say we have something to keep an eye on. A look at the photos from this morning says we need to keep an eye on things. The first photo comes from the site "typhoon 2000" if you are interested take a look there and it can then lead you to various other ones. I mostly then look at "cimss" which is good world wide and the US Navy site "jtwc" or"fnmoc".
