Environmental, Campaign & Website News > Tropical Storm Chanthu heads towards China
Just days after Typhoon Conson struck parts of southern China, a new tropical cyclone is heading for the country. As of Tuesday morning, Chanthu was a relatively weak tropical storm around 315 miles (510km) south of Hong Kong, moving west-northwestwards at approximately 10mph (16km/h). Although Chanthu is passing over the warm waters of the South China Sea, conditions in the upper atmosphere are not favourable enough to allow the cyclone to reach typhoon strength.
