Typhoons tend to send a damper on our bird trips so lets make a thread about them. Image below is Typhoon Megi's projected path. Assumption that "z" is Zulu Time so add 8 hours to get Philippine Time. Image is courtesy of the Joint Typhoon Warning Center.

Severe Thunderstorms / Locally damaging winds:
Even areas indirectly in the path of the latest forecast track, further away from the cyclone should be aware of the risks of flash flooding and locally damaging wind gusts generated by severe thunderstorms around the outer bands. The possibility of supercell / mesocyclonic thunderstorms is high given the wind shear profiles and favourable conditions aloft. Significant thunderstorm activity is especially apparent within the large inflow band feeding in to the eastern quadrant from an active monsoon trough.

Hope the plane knows to fly like a bird.

Hi Bindi, we're okay here in Metro Manila, thanks, but there's a lot of destroyed properties and some casualties north of our islands.

I'm really sorry to hear that Rey! But thanks for the news, and letting me know you are well.
