According to the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JWTC), Typhoon No. 4 Co May (international name: Co-may) has moved deep into the mainland of Shanghai (China).
By the morning of July 31, the storm had weakened into a low pressure area.
The center of the low pressure is about 9km west of the center of Shanghai. The low pressure has been moving northwest at a speed of about 11km/h for the past 6 hours.
The remnants of Co May are expected to continue to dissipate gradually over the next 36 hours due to interaction with the mainland terrain. There is a possibility that the remnant storm will move back to the sea, but it is unlikely to develop strongly into a storm.
The low pressure caused thunderstorms across Shanghai, partly dispelling the heat that has lasted for many days here.
Meanwhile, Typhoon Krosa continues to strengthen at sea. On the morning of July 31, the storm moved north at a speed of about 6km/h, about 743km south-southeast of Yokosuka (Japan). The largest wave height recorded was 4.9 meters. The strongest wind near the center of the storm reached 75km/h.
Typhoon Krosa is expected to continue to strengthen in the next few days. It is forecasted that by this afternoon, July 30, the wind will increase to 85km/h. The storm will then continue to strengthen into a severe tropical storm with winds of up to 100km/h tomorrow afternoon, August 1.
The center of the storm is expected to pass through the sea southeast of Honshu Island, Japan in the next 2-3 days, then accelerate in the East - Northeast direction. Typhoon Krosa is not expected to make landfall in Japan.
