Super Typhoon stronger than year comes to the Pacific

While there have been large tropical storm intensity already this year, the super Typhoon Vongfong currently underway in the Pacific, will be the strongest tropical storm recorded since the beginning of 2014.

With gusts to more than 482 km/h sustained winds and the 249km/h, is the most intense storm to rip through the oceans this year. Currently, Vongfong is listed in category 4, but forecasters indicate that can reach the dangerous category 5 in the next few days.

Last year, the super Typhoon Haiyan became one of the most intense tropical storms of the records. Since the beginning of the year already formed five super typhoons, but none with the intensity of Haiyan. When experiencing warmer waters later this week, the storm is expected to increase in intensity, heading to Japan, referred to the Inhabitat.

Last week, Hurricane Phanfone hit Japan, killing 50 people. Although October is hurricane season, in recent years the number and intensity of tropical storms have been increasing, as a result of climate change.
