Noul seems to be moving northward now, turning toward Okinawa to play with the USAF. ---

Noul is not bringing rain to the rock? ---

A direct hit by Noul would’ve filled up the reservoirs islandwide. But usually the Plum Rains can do that too. Where are the Plum Rains? ---

They have been hitting the north like normal but the south half or 2/3’s is still waiting. We have had a few light showers but nothing significant. ---

Noul’s eye passed over Ishigaki Island about 3 hours ago (at around 23:00 Taiwan time)… winds were maybe around 140km/h before and after the eye’s calm. Before the eye passed there was heavy rain (reportedly around 80mm in 4 hours - a lot at once but no disaster). EDIT: Noul’s eye passed Miyako Island not long after it passed Ishigaki Island (at around 00:15 Taiwan time). Now onward to Okinawa Island, to wake up Urodacus. 😉 ---

so far almost nothing. Max winds sill only 40 km/h. Nice balmy, dry air. But pressure’s dropping quite fast now, and we should have a storm before sun-up. ---

Your post is from 2:30 - the eye seems to have passed near Kume Island around 3:30 (4:30 Japan Time) and at the time of writing should be well to the north of Okinawa Island - were there any audible or visible effects in the Onna region? ---

Dunno. I was asleep at that time… bit of a squib really. All over bar the clean up. a couple of hours of moderate to heavy rain, no damage to trees, power lines, etc… but we still got the morning off work. ---

Looks like right after Noul there will be typhoon Dolphin following nearly the same path. ---

Most of the models that I’ve seen predict Linfa to become a Typhoon on the way to Taiwan, and Chan Hom heading in direction of Okinawa -\> Shanghai. ---
