Tropical storm Podul expected to hit northern Thailand Aug 31-Sept 1

Thailand’s Meteorological Department is closely monitoring tropical storm Podul, which is expected to cross into northern Thailand and cause heavy rain between August 31st and September 1st.

The storm pushed across eastern Luzon of the northern Philippines on Tuesday and Wednesday morning, weakening to a tropical depression while it was just off the coast, but it has since regained tropical storm status since moving over the South China Sea.

Podul may reach typhoon strength prior to landfall for a second time, which is likely to be in Hainan on Friday, followed by another landfall in northern Vietnam on Saturday.
