Real-time coverage of severeStorms event — Tropical Storm Maysak — Pandita Data.
⛈️ OPEN LIVE 3D WEATHER ALERTSTropical Storm Maysak strengthened over the South China Sea on July 4, 2026, centered at 21.6°N, 107.9°E, with sustained winds exceeding 65 km/h and a forecast track toward Vietnam and Cambodia. This system poses immediate threats of extreme rainfall, coastal flooding, and storm surge along densely populated river deltas and coastal communities across Southeast Asia's most vulnerable regions.
Millions of residents in the Mekong Delta, Red River Delta, and coastal Ho Chi Minh City face evacuation orders as Maysak approaches. Heavy precipitation of 200–350 mm is forecast within 48 hours, saturating already-stressed river systems and triggering flash flooding in low-lying agricultural areas where subsidence has lowered terrain by up to 1 meter in some zones.
Tropical cyclones form over warm ocean waters (≥26.5°C) where atmospheric instability, low wind shear, and Coriolis effect combine to organize convection into a rotating low-pressure system. Maysak's intensification was driven by anomalously warm water masses in the South China Sea, where sea-surface temperatures reached 30–31°C in early July—nearly 1–2°C above climatological norms due to reduced upwelling and sustained heat input. The storm's northwestward trajectory places it on a collision course with the Indochinese Peninsula, where complex topography will force orographic lifting and amplify precipitation on windward slopes.
Real-time satellite data from NOAA GOES-16 and NASA MODIS instruments track cloud-top temperatures, rainfall rates, and sea-surface temperatures feeding Maysak's circulation. Pandita Data integrates NOAA's National Hurricane Center advisories, JTWC track forecasts, and numerical weather models (GFS, ECMWF) to visualize storm motion, precipitation footprints, and storm surge probability zones across a 10-day window.
