PAKHAR has made landfall at southern Vietnam. At 20 HKT, PAKHAR was centred about 80 km (45 NM) ENE of Ho Chi Minh City.
帕卡已於越南南部登陸。在下午 8 時，帕卡集結在胡志明市東北偏東約 80 公里 (45

PAKHAR is travelling west slowly. At 20 HKT, PAKHAR was centred about 320 km (170 NM) ESE of Ho Chi Minh City.

PAKHAR is the 132nd name in the tropical cyclone name list. It was contributed by Laos, and is the name of a fresh water fish. This name replaced MATSA which caused considerable damage to Taiwan and mainland China in 2005.
PAKHAR is currently being steered to the west by the ridge near central Vietnam. The storm will continue to move W to WNW and make landfall in southern Vietnam between t+24 and t+36, after which a WNW movement is expected as the subtropical ridge reorientates.
Current T-number: T3.0/3.5/W0.5/24 HRS
Land interaction sets in and PAKHAR's western semicircle deteriorates. Proximity to land and low sea temperatures (25 to 26 degrees) will cause the storm to weaken. Rapid weakening follows after PAKHAR makes landfall.
現時的 T 號碼: T3.0/3.5/W0.5/24 HRS
地形影響令帕卡西半圓結構轉差。由於風暴靠近陸地且海溫偏低 (25 至 26 度)，帕卡將繼續減弱。減弱速度將於登陸後加快。

PAKHAR is the 132nd name in the tropical cyclone name list. It was contributed by Laos, and is the name of a fresh water fish. This name replaced MATSA which caused considerable damage to Taiwan and mainland China in 2005.
PAKHAR is expected to move WNW along the southwestern periphery of the subtropical ridge. The storm may turn NW after landfall as the ridge extends.
帕卡將沿副熱帶高壓脊西南部向西北偏西移動。副高隨後西伸，帕卡或轉向西北移。
Intensity
Analysis 強度分析
Current T-number: T3.5/3.5/D0.5/24 HRS
PAKHAR's low-level structure is well-defined and is developing a banding eye. The storm may intensify slightly in the next 24 hours, but lower sea temperatures near the shore and land interactions will weaken the storm starting from t+24.
現時的 T 號碼: T3.5/3.5/D0.5/24 HRS
帕卡低層結構完整，並正發展雲捲風眼。預料帕卡可於未來 24 小時稍為增強，其後由於近岸海溫較低和陸地影響而減弱。

96W was upgraded by JTWC into tropical depression 02W earlier today. The storm intensified further into a tropical storm and was named PAKHAR. At 20 HKT, PAKHAR was centred about 580 km (310 NM) E of Ho Chi Minh City.
PAKHAR is the 132nd name in the tropical cyclone name list. It was contributed by Laos, and is the name of a fresh water fish. This name replaced MATSA which caused considerable damage to Taiwan and mainland China in 2005.
The ridge northeast of PAKHAR seems to be slightly dominating, pushing the storm towards the WNW. PAKHAR is expected to take on an increasingly poleward track later (possibly after making landfall at Vietnam) as that ridge strengthens and becomes N-S oriented.
Current T-number: T3.0/3.0/D1.5/24 HRS
PAKHAR intensified a lot as the storm becomes more symmetric with apparently spiraling cloud bands. Further intensification is expected in low shear environment, but the storm will soon reach its peak as it nears land.
現時的 T 號碼: T3.0/3.0/D1.5/24 HRS
帕卡增強速度頗快，風暴變得對稱，雲帶旋捲性增加。預計帕卡可於低風切環境下繼續增強，但隨著它靠近陸地，風力將於短期內平頂。

Tropical disturbance 96W in the South China Sea has intensified into a tropical depression. At 20 HKT, 96W was centred about 690 km (370 NM) E of Ho Chi Minh City.
96W is in a pressure col surrounded by two ridges, which accounts for its slow movement in the past 24 hours. The storm is expected to move slowly in the next two to three days, and the ridge to the east of it should strengthen later to allow a more poleward movement.
Current T-number: T1.5/1.5/INT OBS
96W lacks organization but satellite image loops are showing a defined centre. The storm is expected to strengthen in an area of low vertical wind shear and decent sea temperatures (27-28 degrees).
