Super typhoon's shockwaves to unleash chaos on the US West Coast
A super typhoon near Japan is set to impact the Pacific Ocean, bringing erratic weather patterns, including snow and flood risks, to California and the San Francisco Bay Area.
- Typhoon Halong skirted Japan this week, avoiding a direct hit on Tokyo, but is projected to influence weather patterns across the Pacific Ocean towards the US West Coast.
- Meteorologists warn that the jet stream may carry moisture and instability from the Pacific Ocean, potentially leading to severe weather, including flood conditions in California.
- Forecasts indicate that the San Francisco Bay Area could experience a mix of rain and snow as a result of the weather changes triggered by Typhoon Halong.
Why It Matters
The impact of Typhoon Halong highlights the interconnectedness of global weather systems and underscores the increasing volatility of climate patterns, which can affect millions along the US West Coast.
