စေနေန႔ညအေစာပိုင္း တိုင္းထြာခ်က္အရ စူပါတိုင္ဖုန္း အျဖစ္ ဟာေလာင္းမုန္တိုင္းသည္ လ်င္ျမန္စြာ အင္အားျပင္းထန္လာသည္ကို ေတြ႔ရွိရသည္။
ယခုအခ်ိန္အထိ အင္အားေပ်ာ့ေနေသးေသာ္လည္း ဟာေလာင္းသည္ သီတင္းပတ္အကုန္
ဂ်ပန္ကို ခ်ဥ္းကပ္လာခ်ိန္တြင္ အလြန္အႏၲရာယ္ရွိေသာ တိုင္ဖုန္းတစ္ခုအျဖစ္
တည္ရွိေနေသးသည္ဟု ေမ်ွာ္လင့္ရေပသည္။
Halong rapidly intensified this weekend, becoming a super typhoon early Saturday night, local time.
Though it has since weakened, Halong is expected to remain a very dangerous typhoon as it approaches Japan later this week.
There is currently some wind shear affecting the storm which, if
strong enough, typically weakens tropical systems. However, Halong is
managing to overcome this shear enough to remain a powerful typhoon,
even though some minor weakening is possible through Wednesday.

Beyond Wednesday, shear will lessen which could allow Halong to strengthen as it moves through the Ryukyu Islands.
Halong has also enhanced monsoonal rains across the northwest
Philippines where flooding will remain a problem through Wednesday;
50-100 mm (2-4 inches) of rain have fallen across Metro Manila since
Saturday with local amounts over 300 mm (12 inches) northwest of the
city.
While the current path of Halong puts areas from the central Ryukyu
Islands to southern Japan at greatest risk of a direct landfall with
heavy rain, damaging winds and coastal flooding, all residents of Japan,
South Korea and even northeastern China should closely monitor the
typhoon for potential dangers and any adjustments to the forecast track.
Tokyo is one location that is currently not expected to receive the
worst of the storm, but the city and surrounding areas will likely see
gusty winds and locally heavy rainfall as the cyclone tracks to the
south and west late this week. Rain associated with Halong could reach
the area as early as Friday with the worst impacts expected over the
weekend.
Impacts in southern Japan are expected to worsen beginning from
Thursday night into Friday. A landfall is expected either in Kyushu or
western Shikoku Friday night into Saturday. These areas can expect
torrential rainfall, damaging winds and a high risk for mudslides.
While flooding rainfall and damaging winds from Halong are expected
across southern Japan later this week, some parts of southern Japan are
already dealing with flooding after Tropical Storm Nakri drenched the
region late last week.
During the past few days, Nakri has brought 250-500 mm (10-20 inches)
of rain to some places in Kyushu and Shikoku, according to observation
sites across these islands. Multiple locations received more than 10
inches within a single day. Kochi, one of the hardest hit areas,
reported over 800 mm (31 inches) of rain since Saturday.
While the heaviest rain is over in these areas for now, additional
showers and thunderstorms will remain in the forecast through Wednesday
as Halong approaches from the south.
Because of this recent torrential rainfall and likelihood for
additional heavy rains, impacts from Halong will likely be exacerbated.
With the current forecast track, major flooding will occur in southern
Japan along with mudslides, wind damage and coastal flooding due to
storm surge.
The western Pacific was very active during July with five tropical
systems. Of these, four strengthened to typhoons and three were super
typhoons.
