Yes good news for those folks there as they wont see a supertyphoon moving thru.Imagine if it moves there with winds of 180 mph which it had a few days ago.Yes they will take the rain and some tropical storm force winds but they have to be thankfull that it weakened big time.

There will still be a lot of damage but, hopefully not much...

What's it doing way out in the Pacific ???????? :x

It's unfortunate this is not approaching landfall here in the SE states around northern Florida. A good cat 1 hurricane would be just great. We really could use some heavy rains and weather action around here................:(

It's Out There

because that's where the action is in June and this June has been especially active. OTOH, June is usually a pretty quiet month in the ATL.

Winds are now sustained at 80 knots (92 mph). Dianmu is now Category 1.

12 hours from now, sustained winds should be around 65 knots (75 mph).

That means there is a slim chance that Dianmu might make landfall as a minimal Category 1. If that occurred, it would be the Japanese islands just south of the mainland.

I'd say there's a 5% chance of Dianmu reaching the Japanese mainland at typhoon strength. I highly doubt it will happen, but there's a slight possibility.

With the 12 UTC track, Dianmu is going to spend even more time over cold water since landfall is now going to be a little farther east. I think any chance of it making landfall as a typhoon has now been demolished.

Right now Dianmu is not even its shadow of what it once was.

As minimal typhoon Dianmu gets closer, the pressure at Kanoya AB in southwestern Japan is dropping. As of 11 AM it's 979 mb-lower than the minimum pressure was at Naha, Okinawa. Here is the link to Kanoya: http://weather.noaa.gov/weather/current/RJFY.html

and here is a radar from southwestern Japan:

While Dianmu may not be as impressive as it once was, there could still be flooding rains and gusts to typhoon-force in this area.

Dianmu is now a tropical storm. Still, some areas are reporting very heavy rain and sustained winds above 50 MPH, with gusts to nearly 80 MPH. Here is an article from a newspaper about deadly Tropical Storm Dianmu (they refer to it as "typhoon Dianmu" but mention 56-MPH winds):

Tokyo-AP -- At least three people are dead in a typhoon that sent powerful winds and towering waves pounding into southern Japan.

Sunday as typhoon Dianmu headed north toward the country's more densely populated main islands. Officials said three people had died from accidents in stormy seas.

The typhoon had gusts of up to 90 miles per hour and sustained winds of more than 56 miles per hour. Officials attributed the deaths to accidents in stormy seas and said at least two people were missing.

The Meteorological Agency recorded waves as high as 40 feet in some areas and predicted up to 20 inches of rain in parts of southern Japan before the storm head north.

Public broadcaster N-H-K reports more than 75 flights in southern Japan have been canceled as well as most ferry services.

Mistakes about Dianmu in this Picture

#196 Postby HURAKAN » Sun Jun 20, 2004 11:03 pm

Image

1st: Dianmu never reached 160 knots, but 155 knots.
2nd: Dianmu never approached Taiwan, but passed hundreds or thousands of miles to the east.
3rd: "Supertyphoon", according to what I know is Super Typhoon, not both words making one.

But the end without looking at the writing the picture is excellent and beautiful.

1st: Although I can't see why, I suppose they meant gusting to 160knots, because it wasn't 155knots in that picture either.

2nd: At the time of the picture, it was moving in the general direction of Taiwan (actually somewhat north of it)

3rd: I believe either is acceptable.

Flooding Season to Begin Friday
Heavy Rain Leaves 408 People Homeless


By Kim Rahn
Staff Reporter
Typhoon Dianmu, which influenced weather conditions on the peninsula over the weekend, brought heavy rain that left some 400 people homeless and caused the blocking of roads and railways.

Though the rain stopped Monday afternoon, the rainy season is forecast to start Friday.

Dianmu struck western Japan, but invited over 300 millimeters of rainfall in some regions of Korea, particularly in the southern parts of the peninsula.

Munkyong, in North Kyonsang Province, reported a total of 366mm of rain from Friday through Monday. Chongju received 332 milimeters of rainfall, Chechon 321, Taejon 296, Tonghae 300, Hampyong 248, and Chonju 243, according to the Korea Meteorological Administration.

The rain inundated 222 homes, leaving 522 people homeless nationwide. It also swept over a total of 29,794 hectares of farmland and caused power failures to 26,800 houses across the nation, according to the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters.

Two people lost their lives while four others went missing.

Some parts of the railroads between Chongnyangni in Seoul and Kangnung were inundated around 7 p.m. Sunday delaying trains for one to eight hours. Rail services recovered at 8 a.m. the following day.

The rain stopped Monday, and clear skies are forecast for today. But it will start to rain again in Cheju Island from Thursday and nationwide from Friday, with the beginning of the seasonal rainy spell.

Two or three occasions of heavy rain are due in the beginning and middle of July due to the rainy season. The weather agency has advised the public to prepare against the rain as localized torrential downpours are forecast.
