Halong is currently west of Guam moving westward at 15 km/h. Maximum sustained winds are 93 km/h with gusts close to 120 km/h.
But some strengthening and a turn to the northwest is forecast by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center. By Tuesday, Halong will be southwest of Japan’s Okinawa island as a Category 2 hurricane, or typhoon, as it is commonly known in the Pacific.
