MetMalaysia Issues Advisory On Typhoon Nesat

The Malaysian Meteorological Department (MetMalaysia) has issued an advisory on Typhoon Nesat, which is located approximately 1,328 kilometers (km) northwest of Kudat, Sabah.

In a statement today, MetMalaysia said the typhoon was located about 380 km east of Hainan, China.

The department also said that based on observation at 8 am, the typhoon was moving west-southwest at a speed of 15 km per hour (km/h) and could reach a maximum speed of 139 km/h.

This condition may cause strong winds and rough seas over the waters of the South China Sea, it added. This is indeed such a dangerous situation for so many people affected.

For those who might not know, tropical storm Nesat located at 19.7°N 117.2 E northwest of the Philippines is moving west towards Hainan Island, China, and it is expected to morph into a typhoon tonight.

Environment and Water Minister Datuk Seri Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man said the situation would cause strong winds in the South China Sea and reminded the public to be prepared for any eventuality.

“MET Malaysia (Malaysian Meteorological Department) has issued a Continuous Rain Warning (WASPADA) for Sarawak, Sabah, and WP Labuan until Oct 18, 2022.

“May God protect us from any disasters. Be careful,” he said in a post on his Facebook page today.
