http://hainanwel.com/en/hainan-news/108 ... ssion.html According to the local weather stations, a large tropical depression BANYAN is moving towards Hainan Island, China. Tropical Depression BANYAN was formed in the Pacific Ocean, 1,000 kilometers east of Mindanao, Philippines. For several days we follow its trajectory, and at this time there is a high probability, that tropical depression BANYAN comes to the island of Hainan, China (see a photo). Currently, the center of Tropical Depression BANYAN located 1450 kilometers southeast of Sanya City, China. However, considering, that the tropical depression BANYAN covers a large area, it is expected to cause rains in the cities of Hainan Island since 15th October 2011, except for rain and possible wind gusts up to 55 km / h approximately on 17-18 October 2011. While there is no credible reason to believe, that tropical depression BANYAN just comes to the Hainan Island, as the natural phenomena of this magnitude can not be accurately forecast, and the trajectory of its motion may change, but today the center of tropical depression BANYAN has entered the South China Sea.
