Typhoon Champie strengthens to category five over Philippine Sea

Typhoon Champie has increased to category five over the Philippine Sea. The wind speed reached 255 km / h, and the central pressure dropped to 917 millibars. This was reported by Backpirch Weather.

Specialists drew attention to the unusual structure of the storm, including the pronounced effect of the stadium around the eye of the typhoon and clearly distinguishable mesovores. These features set the Champi apart from other tropical cyclones seen this year.

The typhoon formed on Wednesday and grew rapidly over the weekend. The last few days he kept the fourth category before again reaching the fifth, according to Weather Underground.

According to the service, the storm moved to the north-west at a speed of about 21 km / h. The forecast suggested a subsequent northward turn before reaching Taiwan. A powerful typhoon can pose a threat to coastal areas and sea routes, so further altering its trajectory and intensity remains important for risk assessment.
