July 5, 2025 - Tropical Cyclone Mun
Tweet
On June 3, 2025, the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Terra satellite acquired this true-color image of Tropical Cyclone Mun spinning over the Pacific Ocean east of Japan. When this image was captured, Mun was near peak strength with maximum sustained winds of about 70 miles per hour (112.6 km/h) and was moving towards the northeast, away from land. The storm was battling unfavorable conditions as evidenced by its asymmetry.
Tropical Cyclone Mun weakened through most of July 4, with maximum sustained winds dipping to 60 miles per hour (97 km/h). At 11:00 p.m. EDT on July 4 (0300 UTC on July 5), the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) advised that the storm had entered more favorable environmental conditions, allowing Mun to begin to strengthen. With maximum sustained winds of about 63 miles per hour (101 km/h), Mun was located about 483 miles (777 km) southeast of Yokosuka, Japan and it was moving northeastward.
The JTWC forecasts that Tropical Cyclone Mun is forecast to strengthen and track east-northeastward for the next 24 hours. After that time, it will turn towards the northeast and begin to weaken. It is unlikely to become a hazard to land.
