Some links today. The typhoon season has not started yet, at least in Taiwan. There are two or three months left until it does, but this does not mean that there are not any tropical storms somewhere and that we cannot track them. There are several websites that provide (more or less) real time information about the active storm or storms, or where you can see how the previous ones were. Besides, there is also, ready to use, the list of names that will be used on the new storms, what country gives the name and things like that. Last year, I mainly used three of them:
- the typhoon webpage of the Japan Meteorological Agency
- wikipedia pages: this year's new one 2009 and last year's (2008)
- typhoon2000: a webpage from the Philippines with pictures and real time information, when there is a storm going on
Using these three webpages, at least, it is easy to follow the evolution of the storm, see what is approaching, and decide then if you want to leave your nice little apartment or not.
