Is this the best area for this thead ??

A Strong CAT 4 near to the top of Taiwan Saturday night … Imm yes I will bite!

I am flying out of London tomorrow on route to Taipei in north Taiwan – Latest model forecast suggest that this will be a good bet.

I have some logistical hurdles to overcome – no internet! The language and as ever I land with no previsions. This will test all my years of tropical chasing to the max.

Given that I can find an internet connection (Taipei is a city with 1.2 million people) I will post regular updates here – however results from my weather station which I will deploy will also be available here.

If things pan out I could well end up back in the Gulf and chase the system there – this will mean that I end up having travelled the entre globe before I get back to the UK!!

More soon.

As an active storm I'd have preferred this went in there, it would gain some more attention for this monster instead of a bunch or two of disorganised cloudiness.

I'm going to move this to Active Storms, but leave a shadow link here so the original poster doesn't think it was deleted.

This is great thanks - I WILL try and post some Obs to Storm2K when I get there.

Well, if this will be a Wipha-esque scenario, there'll be battering waves, lots of rainfall and Cane-winds but you'll miss out on The Cat3/4 winds. (which is probably for the best :lol:

)
