とうとうTyhoon season到来ですね!立て続けに9、10、11号と発生。Lekimaと命名された9号がTaiwan、Chinaに向かって、10号は日本に向かって来ています。

毎年くりかえされる気象現象.. 慣れておきましょう!英語の習慣化の題材でした。

 

Hong Kong (CNN)China has issued a red alert and suspended dozens of train services as the country's eastern coast braces for Typhoon Lekima.

As of Friday morning, the storm has winds of 215kmh (133.5mph), making it the equivalent of a category 4 hurricane. It is moving northwest at a speed of 26kph.
The storm -- which was briefly a "super" typhoon on Thursday before it weakened into a regular typhoon -- is currently near Taiwan's northern tip, and is set to hit Zhejiang Province on China's east coast early Saturday morning local time. When it hits, it is expected to be equivalent to category 2 hurricane with winds around 150-160kmh.
