After forming in the western Pacific, typhoon Cimaron last weekend headed west and ripped across the Philippines (what's new?) and then churned its way into the South China Sea. Three days ago, Hong Kong Observatory raised the Number One as the said typhoon had come within 800km of a little island in the South China Sea (as well as elsewhere), and Cimaron looked like it might pose a threat hereabouts.
Fortunately, Cimaron dillied and then it dallied, before losing strength to become a mere severe tropical storm. Cimaron (Philippine wild ox) is now sedately making its way toward the Vietnamese coast.
Still, this is a bit late in the year for typhoons.
