Typhoon Nesat is now nearing Hainan and could make landfall in that province later tonight. The storm was last located approximately 380km south southeast of Hong Kong or about 290km east southeast of Haikou in Hainan. Nesat remains a Cat 1 typhoon with sustained winds of 120kph gusting to 165kph. It is moving west northwestward at 20kph.
As I mentioned above, this storm is expected to make landfall later tonight in the northeastern coast of Hainan, about 50km east of Haikou. It will then track across the northern portion of the island-province, bringing heavy rain and strong winds to even the Leizhou Peninsula in Guangdong Province.
Latest radar image out of Hainan is already showing widespread light to moderate rains from the outer and inner bands of Nesat. This will continue throughout today and into the night. Expect rainfall amounts of 250mm or more for the next 24 hours.

Even Hong Kong is reporting winds of tropical storm strength. The region has also seen squally showers for the past 6 hours. Stormy conditions there will continue today but should die down by tonight.
Tropical Storm Nalgae, on the other hand, has already entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility. It was last located approximately 1,500km east northeast of Manila and is moving westward at 10kph. Nalgae has strengthened and now has maximum sustained winds of 100kph gusting to 130kph.
It is still forecast to approach the Extreme Northern Philippines by this weekend as a potential Category 2 typhoon.
