KOMPASU is the 103rd name in the tropical cyclone name list. It was contributed by Japan, meaning the constellation Circinus (lit. compass, a drafting tool). This name was used in 2004, the storm associated with which necessitated the #8 Gale or Storm Signal in Hong Kong.
KOMPASU strengthened into a category 3 typhoon earlier (but has weakened since then), and is speeding towards Korea. At 20 HKT, KOMPASU was centred
about 410 km (220 NM) SSW of Seoul.

KOMPASU has been moving as expected, albeit at a slower pace. KOMPASU is currently situated in the southwestern periphery of the subtropical ridge anchored S of Japan. It is expected that the ridge will drive KOMPASU towards the northwest and a gradual turn to the north should occur in two to three days' time.
Current T-number: T3.5/3.5/D1.0/24 HRS
KOMPASU is developing a banding eye. The storm will strengthen into a typhoon very soon and will remain strong until it reaches cooler waters.
現時的 T 號碼: T3.5/3.5/D1.0/24 HRS

Tropical disturbance 98W intensified into a tropical depression (08W) early today, and is currently a tropical storm. At 14 HKT, 08W was centred
about 940 km (510 NM) SE of Okinawa.
08W is situated in the southwestern periphery of the subtropical ridge anchored S of Japan. It is expected that the ridge will drive 08W towards the northwest and a gradual turn to the north should occur in three days' time.
Current T-number: T2.5/2.5/INT OBS
08W appears symmetrical and its spiraling structure is clearly discernible. In suitable sea temperatures and a weak shear environment, 08W is expected to intensify at faster than climatological rate initially, reaching typhoon status in 36 to 48 hours' time.
