According to the latest low pressure and storm news from the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC), three storms and low pressures are tailing the Pacific Ocean.
As of the afternoon of April 6, the low pressure bearing the symbol Invest 90W is currently located in the western Pacific region. The strongest wind near the center of the low pressure reaches 30 km/h.
The low pressure is unlikely to develop into a tropical depression in the next 24 hours, but the weather in the vicinity will still have thunderstorms due to the influence of this system.
Meanwhile, Typhoon Vaianu continues to strengthen fiercely in the Pacific Ocean.
The center of Typhoon Vaianu is currently located about 556 km west-northwest of Suva (Fiji). In the past 6 hours, the typhoon has moved in a Southeast direction at a speed of 13 km/h. The maximum wave height reached 7.9 m.
The strongest wind near the storm center reaches 165 km/h. It is forecast that in the next 2 days, the storm will strengthen fiercely with a maximum speed of up to 195 km/h. After that, the storm will gradually weaken into a tropical depression.
Off the coast of Australia, storm Maila is currently located about 1,302 km northeast of Cairns (Australia). In the past 6 hours, the storm has moved in an East direction at a speed of 7 km/h. The maximum wave height reached 8.5 m. The strongest wind near the storm center reached 155 km/h.
The storm is forecast to move in a West-Southwest direction for the next 5 days, before gradually weakening.
Because it is still quite far from the mainland, storms and low pressures have not caused much impact on the surrounding archipelagos. However, people and tourists with sea routes and flights through storm and low pressure areas should pay attention to weather forecasts. Follow the instructions of local authorities to ensure safety.
