Hi all,
Finally I’ve finished the analysis… the fact that the China Meteorological Administration (CMA) ignored all the real-time observations during GONI.
SLP observations and CMA estimations during GONI (0907)
Please not that the colourful lines DO NOT represent the minimum SLP near the centre of GONI (…as GONI DID NOT pass over all the towns I listed).
Well…
1/ You can see in the early hours of 5/8, when GONI was moving towards Shangchuan Dao, CMA kept on saying that the minimum SLP was 990 hPa. Actually Shangchuan Dao reported 981.7 hPa at 6am.
2/At the night of 6/8… GONI passed close to Dianbai, and the SLP reported was below 988 hPa, but CMA made it 995.
3/ Later Xuwen also recorded SLP lower than 988 hPa, but CMA raised the estimation further to 998… 10 hPa difference!
4/ At last, CMA corrected their mistakes. As they re-upgraded GONI into a TS, they lowered the SLP estimation to 985 hPa at the same time.
Even JMA, CWB, KMA, HKO… had much better estimations during the incident…

The Sea level pressure (SLP) estimations by the China Meteorological Administration (CMA) were extrememly crazy during the past 2 days……
I’ll talk more about that after GONI dies later this week… or next week…

Notice the latest development of Swine influenza!!!
Pay attention to the following guidelines…
To protect yourself, practice general preventive measures for influenza:
- Avoid close contact with people who appear unwell and who have fever and cough.
- Wash your hands with soap and water frequently and thoroughly.
- Practice good health habits including adequate sleep, eating nutritious food, and keeping physically active.
If there is an ill person at home:
- Try to provide the ill person a separate section in the house. If this is not possible, keep the patient at least 1 meter in distance from others.
- Cover mouth and nose when caring for the ill person. Masks can be bought commercially or made using the readily available materials as long as they are disposed of or cleaned properly.
- Wash your hands with soap and water thoroughly after each contact with the ill person.
- Try to improve the air flow in the area where the ill person stays. Use doors and windows to take advantage of breezes.
- Keep the environment clean with readily available household cleaning agents.

The first Indian cyclone (01B, named BIJLI) made landfall on Bangladesh last week.
Now convective cells are becoming active in the Pacific, and models like GFS and ECMWF are predicting a Tropical Cyclone to form over the South China Sea after 25th April…
Climatically storms tend to move northeast towards Taiwan or Luzon Strait at this time of the year. Yet, a northward motion is possible if the ridge remains strong to the east. Last year, TY Neoguri has proved the possibility of TC threat in April…
So, stay tuned!!
