Typhoon Goni continues to track northwestward in the Pacific Ocean as it strengthens. On its projected storm track, Goni is forecast to pass north of the Philippines’ Luzon Island then veer northward paralleling eastern Taiwan and Japan’s Ryuku Islands. However, the storm path could change in the coming days.

Indications continue to point toward Super Typhoon Atsani hooking to the northeast with its destructive winds and widespread flooding rain bypassing Japan. Even if Atsani curves out to sea prior to reaching Japan, it could still impact eastern Honshu, including Tokyo, with gusty showers early next week.

Airport staff are set to strike at Milan’s Linate and Malpensa Airports from 10a to 2p on September 6. The strike may affect flights.
