Latest satellite image shows Rammasun moving over land into Guangxi Province. The eye is no longer visible but the central dense overcast remains strong and symmetrical. The eye made landfall near Beihai earlier this morning bringing winds close to 200kph. Significant storm surge and heavy rains are also affecting the region. Latest reports from the region say extensive damage along the coast along with widespread flooding in many areas.

Latest radar image out of Guangxi shows the extent of Rammasun's rain bands. Hainan and parts of Guangdong are still reporting light to moderate rains this morning. Closer to the center. winds of up to 180kph along with rainfall accumulations of 250mm continue to be reported. We expect these stormy conditions to last for the next 6 hours.

Rammasun should rapidly weaken now that it is moving over land. However, dangerous conditions will still linger for the next 2 days. Stormy weather will start impacting Northern Vietnam, including Hanoi, later this afternoon.
We'll have another update later this afternoon.
