Issued: 6:00 AM PhT (22:00 GMT) Thursday 29 August 2013
Next Update: 12:00 NN PhT (04:00 GMT) Thursday 29 August 2013
Tropical Storm KONG-REY (NANDO) has maintained its northerly track while slightly gaining strength near the east coast of Taiwan. Most of its rainbands are covering almost the entire country of Taiwan where heavy rains with gusty winds will be expected.
This storm will slightly induce the Southwest Monsoon (Hanging Habagat) - bringing mostly cloudy and breezy conditions with occasional slight to moderate to sometimes heavy rains or thunderstorms across the Batanes-Calayan-Babuyan Island Group. The threat of flash floods and landslides are likely in hazard-prone areas especially along river banks and mountain slopes of the affected areas. Residents are advised to take necessary precautions.
Residents and visitors along Taiwan, Yaeyama-Miyako Islands, and Okinawa-Ryukyu Islands should closely monitor the development of Kong-Rey (Nando).
