Die Philippinen werden in den nächsten Stunden von Taifun Haiyan getroffen, einem Sturm der möglicherweise historische Ausmaße erreicht. Die aktuelle Analyse des JTWC erzielt 1-minütige Mittelwinde von 170kn mit Böen bis zu 205kn. Sollten sich diese Windgeschwindigkeiten in der Reanalyse nach Ende der Saison bestätigen, würde Haiyan der stärkste tropische Wirbelsturm werden, der bisher beobachtet wurde.
