Tropical Storm Conson became a typhoon overnight with maximum sustained winds near 75 mph, the Philippines. Conson is already moving into the South China Sea and headed for a landfall in south China.
Typhoon Conson at 04:55 UTC (12:55 a.m. EDT/12:55 p.m. local Asia/Manila Time) on July 13, when it was moving over land in the northern Philippines. The interaction with land had an effect on Conson’s winds, dropping them below typhoon-force. In the Philippines, Conson has been given the local name of “Basyang.”
At 1500 UTC (11 a.m. EDT/11 p.m. local Asia/Manila time), Conson’s winds had decreased to 60 knots (69 mph) after making landfall. Tropical-storm force winds extend as far as 65 miles from the center. Conson’s center was about 70 miles east of Manila, near 14.5 North and 122.2. East and it was moving west at 14 knots (16 mph). |
