#DidYouKnow

The International #Typhoon name “Mawar” was submitted by #Malaysia, and it means the flower “rose”.

#TyphoonMawar is currently near the #Philippines, though it will not make a landfall as it started to shift towards Japan, strong winds and rains are expected in the Northern part of Luzon island.

It was given a local name of “Betty”.

The thing with “the calm before the storm” is it sucks away the wind from its regular path making the air hot.

Since we live near the West Philippine Sea, it gets cooler at night because the winds from the sea comes in to the land. But with
#TyphoonMawar (local name: #TyphoonBetty), that wind is way up to the level of the incoming typhoon and being pulled to it.

Like right now, it's 22:41 here and the air is simply “dead”, dry, and hot.
