This animation shows 24 hours in the life of three storms in the West Pacific. The remnants of former Typhoon #Cempaka bottom left, Typhoon #INFA in the middle and TS #Nepartak far right which is headed to Japan.
Shangai is already receiving rain from In-fa, 650kms away.

A truly extraordinary storm. Maybe illustrative of what tropical storms of the future may look like.
#INFA developed slowly, moves slowly and is not particularly strong, but he/she is orchestrating rain catastrophes from 100s of KMs away in Shangai the Phillipines and Japan.

A big high resolution photo of INFA from this morning from @NASA WorldView. This is a truly huge storm.
Zooming in....
All the way to the eye.
#INFA has a very big eye.
Latest track forecast. From metoc.navy.mil/jtwc/jtwc.html
It appears this enormous storm is technically no longer a Typhoon, with winds of just 45 knots, which makes he/she a Tropical Storm (In-fa is both a male and female name apparently).
Simply Astonishing.

Tropical Storm #INFA is pictured here with her widening gyre. Together which is much bigger than him. What is now TS #Nepartak is somewhere in there near to the right of the saddle.
