Next typhoon
According to the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts, the reasonably strong spell of the monsoon might just continue until July 18 when it is likely to run into another building typhoon in the Pacific.
Forecasts based on initial conditions as on Wednesday (July 9) said that the monsoon could undergo another round of weakening in view of the pull power of the typhoon.
A leading Asian storm tracker indicated that unlike Neoguri, the brewing system would head westward aiming the Taiwan/south China coast.
Neoguri had taken a north-northeast track that is totally prejudiced to monsoon prospects in India; but a westward course, though initially disruptive, could prove beneficial later subject to conditions.
