Issued: 8:00 AM MANILA TIME (00:00 GMT) TUE 24 JUNE 2008
Next Update: 8:00 AM (00:00 GMT) TUE 07 JULY
_____________________________________________________________________________

Week One (1) Forecast: JUNE 24-30, 2008 [Tuesday to Monday]

[1] Continued chance of above-average rainfall across Western Luzon &
Western Visayas. Wet conditions are expected in this area as a result of the
onset of the Southwest (SW) Monsoon, ITCZ and areas of above sea surface
temperatures. Confidence: MODERATE.

[2] Continued favorable conditions exist for Tropical Cyclogenesis for the
South China Sea, East of the Philippines (Philippine Sea) & Western Pacific
Ocean. Active convection & increasingly more prevalent low-level westerly flow
equatorward of this region are expected to gradually lead to more favorable
conditions for Tropical Cyclone development. Confidence: LOW.

Week Two (2) Forecast: JULY 01-07, 2008 [Tuesday to Monday]

[1] Continued chance of above-average rainfall across Western
Philippines. Wet conditions are expected in this area as a result of the

surface temperatures. Confidence: LOW.

[2] Continued favorable conditions exist for Tropical Cyclogenesis for
the Philippine Sea & Western Pacific Ocean. Prevailing convection and
prevalent low-level westerly flow equatorward of this region are expected
to lead to continued favorable conditions for Tropical Cyclone development.
Confidence: MODERATE.

Important Note: Please keep in mind that the above two-week tropical forecast outlook, does not
guarantee 100% accuracy! Errors & changes particularly the 2nd week forecast can happen within

TS FENGSHEN (FRANK) now over Hong Kong [Update #010]

Typhoon2000 STORM UPDATE #010

Name: TROPICAL STORM FENGSHEN [FRANK/07W/0806]

Issued: 7:00 AM MANILA TIME (23:00 GMT) WED 25 JUNE 2008
Source: HONG KONG OBSERVATORY BULLETIN
Note: Kindly refer to your country's official warnings or bulletins. This update is for additional information purposes only.

_____________________________________________________________________________

TROPICAL STORM FENGSHEN (FRANK) BATTERS HONG KONG...ITS CENTER HAS

PASSED WITHIN 50 KM EAST OF THE METROPOLIS...MODERATE TO HEAVY RAINS

WITH STRONG WIND GUSTS REACHING 100-130 KM/HR HAVE BEEN OBSERVED IN

SOME AREAS OF HONG KONG PARTICULARLY ALONG STANLEY, CHEUNG CHAU, KAI

TAK AND WAGLAN ISLAND. IN NGONG PING, WIND GUST HAVE REACHED 186 KM/HR
AT 6:30 AM HONG KONG TIME.

Click HERE TO VIEW WIND GUST MAP OF HONG KONG!

**Residents of Hong Kong & Eastern Guangdong must take precautionary measures, as
Storm Wind Signal No. 8 remains in effect. Kindly check out Hong Kong Observatory's
hourly bulletin on the passage of Tropical Storm FENGSHEN.

+ FORECAST OUTLOOK: FENGSHEN is expected to inland across Eastern

Guangdong, dissipating. The 24-hour forecast calls for further dissi-

pation of FENGSHEN, becoming a Tropical Depression while moving along

Eastern Guangdong tomorrow.

+ EFFECTS: FENGSHEN's core and its western inner bands continues to

lash Hong Kong and Macau. Moderate to heavy rains with wind gusts not

exceeding 120 km/hr can be expected. Meanwhile, its inner bands will

continue to affect the whole of Guangdong province this morning, bri-

nging rains and winds not exceeding 60 km/hr. Residents in low-lying

areas must seek higher grounds for possible flooding & landslides due

to the anticipated heavy rains brought about by this system. Precau-

tionary measures must be implemented today. Coastal Storm Surge floo-

ding of 1 to 3 feet above normal tide levels...along with large and

dangerous battering waves can be expected near and to the north of

FRANK's projected path particularly on where the center makes land-

fall in Eastern Guangdong Province in China. Minimal damage is po-

ssible on this type of storm surge. Far-fetched storm surge is po-

ssible along coastal areas of Western Guangdong and Fujian Province

with surf reaching 1 feet at most.

+ CURRENT MONSOON INTENSITY: The Southwest (SW) Monsoon continues to be
enhanced by FENSGHEN, affecting Western Luzon. Clear to Cloudy skies with
light to moderate passing rains & SW'ly winds not exceeding 40 km/hr may
be expected. Landslides, mudflows (lahars) and flooding is likely to occur
along steep mountain/volcano slopes, river banks, low-lying & flood-prone
areas of the affected areas. Meanwhile, big sea waves or surges generated
by this monsoon can affect the coastal and beach-front areas of the above-
mentioned areas.

Important Note: Please keep in mind that the above forecast outlook,
effects & current monsoon intensity, and tropical cyclone watch changes
every 06 to 12 hours!

CONVECTION HAS PERSISTED ALONG THE SOUTHWESTERN SIDE OF THE LLCC.
SEVERAL RECENT MICROWAVE SATELLITE PASSES INDICATE THAT THE LOW

Typhoon2000 STORM UPDATE #007

Name: TYPHOON FENGSHEN [FRANK/07W/0806]

Issued: 7:00 AM MANILA TIME (23:00 GMT) MON 23 JUNE 2008
Source: JTWC TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNING #018
Note: Kindly refer to your country's official warnings or bulletins. This update is for additional information purposes only.

_____________________________________________________________________________

TYPHOON FENGSHEN (FRANK) CONTINUES TO TRY REORGANIZING OVER THE SOUTH

CHINA SEA, DESPITE UNFAVORABLE UPPER LEVEL WINDS (VERTICAL WIND SHEAR)

OVER THE AREA. THE CENTER IS NOW MOVING AWAY FROM WESTERN LUZON...MAY

THREATEN SOUTHERN CHINA OR NORTHWESTERN TAIWAN.

Click HERE to view zoom past track map on where the typhoon passed over

Luzon!

**Based on actual observation, calm conditions have been observed in Quezon City and

nearby areas of Metro Manila around 6:00-8:00 AM yesterday morning. Latest official

satellite fix confirms that around 7:30 AM (23:30 GMT) June 22 - the cloud-filled EYE

passed over Quezon City.

+ FORECAST OUTLOOK: FENGSHEN is expected to remain a weak Typhoon as it

moves NW'ly across the South China Sea within the next 24 hours. The

2 to 5-day long-range forecast shows the system recurving towards the

NE, and shall pass over Taiwan Strait on Wednesday morning, June 25.

It shall then weaken into a Tropical Storm as it enters the cooler sea

surface temperatures of the East China Sea and begin Extratropical

transition on Thursday, June 26. On Saturday, June 28, FENGSHEN shall

make landfall over Honshu, Japan as an Extratropical Cyclone.

+ EFFECTS: FENGSHEN's main circulation has returned back to sea and is

now reorganizing over the South China Sea, with only its Eastern Outer

(Rain) Bands spreading across Western Luzon. Passing moderate to heavy

rains with winds not exceeding 40 km/hr can be expected within the

outer bands today. Residents in low-lying areas must seek higher

grounds for possible flooding & landslides due to the anticipated heavy

rains brought about by this system. Precautionary measures must remain

implemented today. Far-fetched storm surge is possible along coastal

areas of Western Luzon with surf reaching 2-4 feet at most.

Important Note: Please keep in mind that the above forecast outlook,
effects & current monsoon intensity, and tropical cyclone watch changes
