BANGKOK, Thailand – Typhoon Usagi has strengthened into a Super Typhoon, with winds reaching 185 km/h near the center and gusts up to 230 km/h. The storm is expected to make landfall in northern Philippines on November 14. The Philippine government has already begun evacuating residents as a precaution, with the country bracing for heavy rainfall, strong winds, and rough seas.
The storm is the latest in a series of powerful typhoons to hit the region, following Typhoon Toraji and Typhoon Man-Yi. Over the past three weeks, six typhoons have made landfall in the Philippines. As the typhoons continue to affect neighboring regions, the Philippine authorities are preparing for further impacts, including possible disruptions in the southern China region from Typhoon Toraji (Nov. 14-15) and Typhoon Man-Yi (Nov. 17-18).
While Thailand is not directly impacted by these storms, some rain is expected in the lower northeastern region, eastern areas, central Thailand, including Bangkok and its surrounding provinces. The Meteorological Department reports that the weather in Thailand will remain relatively mild, with potential light rain and thunderstorms from November 14-16.
Travelers planning to visit southern China should stay updated on weather conditions, as Typhoon Toraji is expected to weaken but could still cause disruption in the area. The storm’s effects on Thailand’s weather will remain minimal but could include occasional rain in the northern, eastern, and southern regions, as well as cooler mornings in the northern and northeastern parts of the country.
As the weather shifts, it is important for residents and travelers in Thailand to monitor local forecasts and take necessary precautions.
