Typhoon Saudel, known as Typhoon Pepito in the Philippines, is a currently intensifying typhoon in the South China Sea. The seventeenth tropical storm and seventh typhoon of the 2020 Pacific typhoon season, Saudel formed from a tropical disturbance east of the Philippines. The disturbance gradually organized and crossed the Philippines as a tropical storm. Once the system emerged into the South China Sea, it began to rapidly organize and intensify, becoming a typhoon early on October 22.

Saudel flooded roads and buildings in the Philippines. It is expected to hit Central Vietnam, which has been devastated by flooding caused my a slew of tropical systems.

During the 2016 annual session of the WMO Typhoon Committee, the name Soudelor was retired from the naming lists and was replaced with the name Saudel for 2020 and future seasons.

At 15:00 UTC on October 16, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) began tracking an area of convection, or thunderstorms, approximately 463 nautical miles (857 km) east-southeast of Palau.[1] On October 18 at 21:00 UTC, the PAGASA upgraded the system into a tropical depression, and named the system Pepito.[2] A few hours later, the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) also recognized the system as a tropical depression,[3] and subsequently issued their first warning on the system.[4] As the system intensified while it approached Northern Luzon, the JMA upgraded the system into a tropical storm and named the system Saudel on October 20.[5] The PAGASA followed suit later that day.[6] Saudel made landfall over the San Ildefonso Peninsula in Casiguran, Aurora on October 20 at 13:00 UTC (21:00 PHT) and began crossing the Luzon Island, emerging over the West Philippine Sea hours later.[7][8] As the storm left the Philippine Area of Responsibility, the developing severe tropical storm was upgraded into a typhoon by the JMA, the JTWC, and by the PAGASA in their final bulletin for the system.[9][10][11]

Current storm information

As of 03:00 UTC October 22, Typhoon Saudel (Pepito) is located near 17°06′N 116°00′E / 17.1°N 116.0°E / 17.1; 116.0 (Saudel), also about 336 nautical miles (620 km; 385 mi) south-southeast of Hong Kong. Maximum 10-minute sustained winds are at 70 knots (130 km/h; 80 mph), while maximum 1-minute sustained winds are at 70 knots (130 km/h; 80 mph), with gusts up to 100 knots (185 km/h; 115 mph). The minimum central barometric pressure is 970 hPa (28.64 inHg), and the system is moving almost stationary.

For the latest official information, see:

After the PAGASA declared Saudel a tropical storm, the agency issued Signal #2 tropical cyclone warnings in preparation for the storm's landfall.[12] Prior to making landfall, Signal #2 was raised in 10 provinces and in parts of 4 provinces.[13] In Quezon, many streets were flooded and people used boats for transport. A total of 6,000 people were evacuated.[14]
