The fifth western Pacific tropical storm of the year formed on Saturday and its current forecast track looks set to threaten areas of southern Japan which were struck by typhoon Man-yi earlier this month.
Typhoon Usagi, which means rabbit in Japanese, was located 1030km north of Guam at 0100 BST this morning with sustained winds of 75mph. The storm is forecast to strengthen and maintain a northwest track towards the island of Kyushu.
I am on standby to travel to the region tomorrow in anticipation of the arrival of typhoon Usagi. I will post more updates as the situation develops.
