Latest satellite image shows Tropical Storm Kalmaegi moving across Northern Vietnam. Clouds associated with the system are currently moving across Indochina bringing periods of light to moderate rains and gusty winds. Hanoi recorded winds of up to 100kph in the early morning hours but are starting to weaken.
Heavy rainfall amounts of up to 200mm have also been recorded in Northern Vietnam and parts of Southern China. Heavy rains will extend south into Laos, Thailand, and Myanmar. The region could receive anywhere from 100 to 200mm of rain over the next 24 to 48 hours.
Kalmaegi will continue weakening quickly and should completely dissipate by Thursday.
This will be our final update for Tropical Storm Kalmaegi. We are currently watching a low pressure area that could become a Tropical Depression later today. This system is located in the Philippine Sea. We'll have full updates once it gets upgraded to a depression.
