Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor, Carlos Latuff, who shares the following Radiofax decodes and notes:
THREE storms in a single Radiofax
-
- Typhoon Yinxing (Marce) which just hit the Philippines, now heading towards Hainan & Vietnam
- Tropical storm Toraji (Nika) which is about to landfall on the Philippines
- Tropical storm Man-yi whose route points towards the Northern Mariana Islands and maybe…Philippines!
Via Shanghai Meteorological Bureau (chart received yesterday in Juiz de Fora, 16559 kHz) and Japan Meteorological Agency (satellite image received today also in Juiz de Fora, 13988 kHz).
Bonus: [Breaking News] Stunning Rose wins Queen Elizabeth Cup
Kyodo News radiofax received today in Juiz de Fora, Brazil, 08h27 UTC, 16970 kHz.
Wow, Carlos, thank you for sharing this. It’s simply incredible to see so many active storms all in a line on that Radiofax. I hope everyone can weather these without loss of life.

Indeed, Thomas, it’s amazing how the Philippines is historically hit by typhoons every year, one after the other. I believe that the Philippine authorities must have great expertise in how to deal with such catastrophic events.
Wow again, Carlos. I hope everyone stays safe.
The Shanghai Meteorological Bureau radiofaxes . . . are they mainly intended for mariners? Or who is the intended audience?
Cheers, Jock
Hi Jock.
Yes, as well other meteorological agencies worldwide, Shanghai broadcasts weather charts to ships.
Greetings from Brazil.
