Typhoon Nesat continues to develop and move towards the Philippines today bringing the risk of flooding and mudslides across the Country.
The current forecast has the system making landfall near Casiguran on the morning of the 27th as a Super Typhoon.
The winds alone will not be the only risk, severe flooding across the country due to heavy rains coupled with a strong monsoon season this year could cause mudslides.

Also Tropical Storm Haitang moves towards Vietnam where Monsoon rains are also causing destruction this year. Already a week ago six people died due to the floods there and with this Tropical System heading that way the situation could get worst.
