Super Typhoon “Haiyan” May Hit Philippines on Thursday November 7

International weather forecasters particularly the US National Oceanic and Athmospheric Administration (NOAA) advised the Philippines for an upcoming Super Typhoon that will hit the country on late Thursday, November 7, 2013, or early Friday, November 8, 2013.

The US Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) said Tuesday morning that the cyclone, with an international codename “Haiyan” may grow progressively more powerful until at least November 7, Thursday.

Super Typhoon

The international news media organization CNN made a forecast that Haiyan could be at “super typhoon strength” by the time it will make a landfall in Central Philippines. The news network also mentioned the Bicol Region will be hit by the super typhoon.

Based upon the US National Oceanic Administration (NOAA) a super typhoon has a maximum sustained 1-minute surface winds of at least 65 m/s (130 knots, 150 mph), or a maximum sustained winds of 234 kph or more. In the Philippines PAGASA defines a super typhoon as one having a maxium sustained winds of 200 kph.

According to the estimates posted by the JTWC, Haiyan may pack winds of 75 knots (138.9 kph) by Tuesday, and 95 knots (175.94 kph) by Wednesday (Manila Time). Haiyan’s winds were projected to continue intensifying, with winds reaching as high as 130 knots (240.76 kph) by 6 PM of November 7, or early morning of November 8, 2013 (Manila Time).

PAGASA’s weatherman Nathaniel Cruz also explained that the typhoon forecast must be continually updated to take account of changing conditions, so the areas in the path of cyclone will be properly advised with the right information.

Forecaster Fernando Cada of PAGASA reported on early Tuesday that Haiyan is moving westward at 20 kph and may make landfall over Eastern Visayas or the Bicol Region. Upon entering the Philippine Area of Responsibility, Haiyan will be codenamed as “Yolanda.”

  1. The two horses of apocalypse – Climate change and overpopulation; and super-typhoon Yolanda

    Investigated causes in this current global warming and climate change are coming of ice age, sun heating more , changing of polarity of earth, etc. but none of the stated. This is man-made. Other than the unabated increase in atmospheric CO2 by 35% more and up, …scientists, in 2011, were intrigued why the temperature of north pole has been registering the highest temperature rise, 4-5 centigrade, highest in the world. I pointed out why: as earth rotates on itself, the accumulated atmospheric CO2 from upper earth slides down to the lowest rotating section of earth, the north pole in the northern hemisphere. As CO2 conserves heat, heat in north pole increased by meteoric 4-5%, causing north pole to melt by 90% up especially during summer.

    What causes typhoons? Super-typhoons? Orbit of earth and rotation on itself have everything to do with it. As earth orbits farther from the sun (aphelion), the north pole in front, the cold atmosphere rushes up toward the equator, like wind rushing to front window of car; and with the hot atmosphere from the equator moving downward to meet the cold atmosphere. As earth is rotating unevenly, re-faster on the equator, slower on the north pole, the tendency is to cause the mixed atmosphere to rotate naturally, counter clockwise, from north to west to south to east to north, etc. . This rotating meeting motion creates low pressure. How? The rotating motion causes the winds is moved to concentrate to the sides of the gathering rotating motion, but creating low pressure or vacuum inside the rotation!! (that is why, at eye of typhoon is most calm. According to Mr. Nathaniel Cruz, Mr. Weatherman, Philippines, (formerly held by another brilliant Dr. Graciano P. Yumul) to quote, “ last year, 2012, count of typhoons up to November was 20, now it is already 23 in November”. This is not good. Do we expect more in the future. You answer.

    Overpopulation: Without over-population, there can be no man-made global warming, climate change, super-typhoons, super-floodings. How? Man produces prodigiously CO2 that causes global warming, and global warming causes climate change.. Man hastens, destroys natural make-up of nature on earth like never before. Nature now is rebelling, How overpopulated is human on earth? In the Philippines, for instance, 1945, the population was 28 millions more or less, Now, it balloons to 100 million. In 1958, the flooding in Manila is mild, as i saw it, only on Quezon Boulevard fronting UST and in Sampaloc. In 1959, traffic was never congested, One can ride a jeep from Quiapo to Cubao speed unhindered. Now, it is different: Manila is a congested jungle full of traffic, not only Manila, but throughout.. The world, itself, balloons in the same proportion, more or less, in human population in earth that cannot grow Yes, life is becoming more unlively. But I pity, especially, the poor squatters in Metro Manila and neighbouring metropolitans who are made like basketball. They are supposed to have more in law, not less.

    Super typhoon Yolanda – Philippines

    How super-typhoon Yolanda is created? At aphelion, earth is orbiting the sun at 76,000 miles per/hr., with the tilted north pole in front, thus cold air of north pole is like wind rushing to the frontal wind shield of car, Coordinatingly, the rotation of earth comes into play: At the equator, speed of rotation of earth is 1,475 km/hr. while at the north pole, the speed could be only 200 km/hr. and less. Thus, such uneven rotation of earth causes circular whirling motion, re-from speed of 1,475km./hr to low speed of 200 km./hr. and back etc. in natural circular counter clockwise motion. This whirling motion is ripe to become typhoon, super-typhoon like Yolanda, . How? The meeting of the two, re- denser cold air from the north pole and created hot air from the equator contracts air, creates whirling motion, such whirling motion creates low pressure inside the whirling motion!!,(that is why the eye oftyphoon at center is most calm) ripe to become typhoon, super-typhoon like Yolanda. Typhoon Yolanda is moving at 30 km. /hr., is actually rotating earth at 1,440 km/ hr. because the rotation of earth of 1,475 km./hr.!! lagging by 30 km./hr., that is why typhoon Yolanda was seen weeks at ocean deep pacific ocean, but will makes landfall , delayed, lagged to reach Philippines, almost a week later.

    Super typhoon Yolanda:

    How super-typhoon Yolanda is created? Te orbit and rotation of earth are responsible for creating super-typhoons, super-floodings. How? At aphelion, earth orbits around the sun, with the tilted north pole in front, at 76,000miles per hr.,, thus, the At the equator, velocity of rotation of earth is 1,475 km/hr. while at the north pole, the velocity could be only 200 km/hr. and down. Thus, such uneven shape of earth causes rotation of earth by itself uneven, will cause, creates circular whirling motion, re-from speed of 1,475km./hr to low speed of 200 km./hr. and back etc. in circular counter clockwise motion. This whirling motion is ripe to become typhoon, super-typhoon like Yolanda, because there is unabated global warming creating climate change. The meeting of the two, re- denser cold air from the north pole and created hot air from the equator contracts air, creates whirling motion, such whirling motion creates low pressure inside the whirling motion!!, ripe to become typhoon, super-typhoon like Yolanda. Typhoon Yolanda is moving at 30 km. /hr., is actually rotating earth at 1,440 km/ hr. because the rotation of earth of 1,475 km./hr.!! lagging by 30 km./hr.
