  • Intensity: 40 kts
  • Geometry type: Point

Recent track summary (based on provided points)

The storm’s reported positions from 2026-05-06T00:00:00Z through 2026-05-08T06:00:00Z show a general westward movement (decreasing longitude) with a gradual increase in latitude.

  • Earliest point in the dataset: 2026-05-06T00:00:00Z at (147.5, 7.6) with 35 kts
  • Latest point in the dataset: 2026-05-08T06:00:00Z at (138.9, 8.7) with 40 kts

Intensity trend in the provided timeframe

Across the listed observations, intensity is reported as:

  • 35 kts from 2026-05-06T00:00:00Z through 2026-05-07T18:00:00Z
  • 40 kts at 2026-05-08T00:00:00Z and 2026-05-08T06:00:00Z

This indicates a modest strengthening in the most recent two points available, based solely on the magnitudes provided.

Data notes and limitations

  • The dataset provides positions and wind speed magnitudes (in knots) at specific timestamps; it does not include storm size, pressure, rainfall, wave heights, or impact reports.
  • No landfall information, watches/warnings, or forecast cone is included in the provided data, so none is stated here.
  • Coordinates are presented as (longitude, latitude) exactly as supplied.

Tropical Storm Hagupit (2026): Latest Track, Impacts, and What to Watch

Current status

Tropical Storm Hagupit is being monitored over the western Pacific. Based on the latest publicly available event data, the system has been analyzed at 35–40 knots and has been tracking generally westward while gradually gaining latitude.

Most recent plotted point: 2026-05-08 06:00 UTC near 8.7°N, 138.9°E with an estimated intensity of 40 kt.

Storm history snapshot (selected points):

  • 2026-05-06 00:00 UTC: ~7.6°N, 147.5°E (35 kt)
  • 2026-05-07 18:00 UTC: ~8.1°N, 141.2°E (35 kt)
  • 2026-05-08 06:00 UTC: ~8.7°N, 138.9°E (40 kt)

For the underlying event feed used to compile these points, see: NASA EONET event page for Tropical Storm Hagupit.

Where is Hagupit headed?

The plotted positions show a steady westward motion from roughly 147.5°E to 138.9°E over about two days, with a modest northward drift from ~7.1–7.7°N to ~8.7°N. This suggests a track across the open ocean toward the general vicinity of the western Pacific islands, but small changes in steering winds can shift the path—especially for compact tropical storms.

What to watch in the next 24–72 hours:

  • Intensity trend: whether the storm continues strengthening beyond 40 kt or fluctuates due to wind shear/dry air.
  • Forward speed: faster motion can spread impacts over a wider area; slower motion can increase rainfall totals.
  • Convection bursts: repeated thunderstorm bursts near the center can signal strengthening.

Potential hazards (even from a modest tropical storm)

  • Heavy rain: localized flooding is possible, particularly on windward slopes and in low-lying areas.
  • Gusty winds: tropical-storm-force gusts can down small branches and cause sporadic power issues.
  • Rough seas & surf: hazardous marine conditions can extend far from the center; small craft should use caution.
  • Squalls: brief but intense rain/wind bands can arrive well ahead of the center.

Frequently asked questions

Is Tropical Storm Hagupit the same as Typhoon Hagupit (2014)?

No. “Hagupit” is a name that can be reused in the western North Pacific basin in different years. This page is about the 2026 tropical storm currently being tracked.

How strong is Hagupit right now?

The latest point in the event data indicates 40 kt (about 46 mph / 74 km/h). Intensity estimates can change with new observations.

What’s the best way to follow updates?

Use official meteorological agency advisories for watches/warnings and track forecasts, and monitor local emergency management guidance for your area.
