For #TimelapseTuesday we're featuring 2-day infrared imagery via Japan's #Himawari9 satellite of #Koinu's path in the Pacific as it approaches Taiwan.

At the last report, #TyphoonKoinu had sustained winds of 110 mph.

Japan's #Himawari9 🛰️ is closely monitoring #TyphoonKoinu off the coast of Taiwan as the sun sets overhead. With sustained winds of around 130 mph, #Koinu is the equivalent of a Category 4 Atlantic hurricane.

Copious moisture is wrapped up in Typhoon #Koinu (#JennyPH) per this 48-hour loop of Total Precipitable Water data. While landfall will take place on Taiwan’s southeast coast, the entire island will experience heavy rainfall. The northern Philippines have had heavy rains as well.

This 48-hour recap tracks the large eye of Category 4 Typhoon #Koinu making landfall on the southern tip of Taiwan via microwave satellite imagery. Disrupted by the mountainous landscape, #TyphoonKoinu is now a Category 2 storm headed toward China. tropic.ssec.wisc.edu/

Amazing #Sentinel2 satellite image of Typhoon #Koinu to the east of Taiwan, China.
At its peak, Koinu had reported wind speeds of 343 kmh or 213 mph, 95 m/s). If verified, that would be the 3rd highest surface winds on record, says WMO climate extremes rapporteur.

#Koinu has weakened to a Tropical Storm. This MIMIC path recap from Taiwan to China includes two notable events including how much smaller #TyphoonKoinu became after striking Taiwan and how the storm slowed and seemed to take aim at Hong Kong. tropic.ssec.wisc.edu/real-ti…
