Happy New Year (yeah a bit late I know) to you all!

It's time to dust off the gear and seize 2025 by the horns. There's a decent sized sea effect snow set up impacting Japan this week so I'll be hitting the road early tomorrow to live stream my chase. I'll be setting off from Tokyo towards Matsumoto before hooking west across the Alps towards the famous and picturesque town of Shirakawa where I'll stop and take a walk around. The finally on to Kanazawa in hopes of intercepting some snow squalls and thunder snow. Weather will start off nice with hopefully some great views of Mt Fuji before really deteriorating as we enter Japan's infamous "snow country." Stream will start between 7 to 8am Japan time tomorrow morning over on Youtube. Link included in the first comment below.

Come ride along on the adventure!

Typhoon Agthon, known as Ewiniar internationally. This one really snuck up on everyone and really pulled a few surprises.

It was the first named storm of the year (forming on the 25th May) and wasn't expected to amount to much until it started cranking right over central Luzon and became a typhoon. It peaked as a cat 2 as it moved offshore. Were you affected by this storm? If so feel free to share your stories in the comments.

Alert level raised to 3 at Kanlaon volcano in the Philippines today at 3pm by PHIVOLCS. Below is the text from their latest bulletin:

"This serves as a notice of alert level raise from Alert Level 2 to Alert Level 3 of Kanlaon Volcano.

An explosive eruption occurred at the summit vent of Kanlaon Volcano at 3:03 PM today, 9 December 2024. The eruption produced a voluminous plume that rapidly rose to 3,000 meters above the vent and drifted west-southwest. Pyroclastic density currents or PDCs descended the slopes on the general southeastern edifice based on IP and thermal camera monitors.


In view thereof, DOST-PHIVOLCS is raising the Alert Level of Kanlaon Volcano from Alert Level 2 (increasing unrest) to Alert Level 3 (magmatic unrest). This means magmatic eruption has begun that may progress to further explosive eruptions. All local government units are advised to evacuate the 6-km radius from the summit of the volcano and must be prepared for additional evacuation if activity warrants."

I'm back home in Japan and the steady march towards winter continues - my favourite season in this country. The greatest snow storms on Earth, the sea affect outbreaks along the Sea of Japan coast, are right around the corner and I'll be in the thick of them livestreaming.

But before that unfolds, I'll be putting together a series of posts, a recap on this remarkable typhoon season. China, Taiwan, Vietnam, Japan and most especially the Philippines all impacted by powerful, destructive storms.

And finally a big hello and welcome to all the new followers to my page - please feel free to say hello in the comments and I look forward to you joining me on future assignments and adventures.

Safely back in Manila - a week like no other in my career. One storm battered country, seven days, three typhoons - moments of terror, serenity, jaw dropping natural beauty and pure exhaustion. The one constant, the incredible people who’ve left a lasting mark on us.

The barangay chief in Dicabasan who was evacuating villagers to the village hall and welcomed us in as the eyewall of typhoon Toraji ripped through.

Sister Susan in Gonzaga, who welcomed us with open arms, cooked us warm food and let us use her school as a base as we braced for violent typhoon Usagi, which thankfully never reared its fangs.

And finally Chummy and all his staff at the Bay’s Inn in Baler. I’ve never seen such a cool, level headed leader go out of his way to keep his people and property safe in a moment of crisis as well as he did as super typhoon Man-yi starting smashing the town. A consummate professional.

Chasing typhoons is hard work but it obviously goes without saying whatever struggles we deal with don’t begin to compare to what those who have been directly impacted by these storms are dealing with. We choose to do this, those people don’t.

Thank you Philippines - you always humble me!

Clean up in full force this morning in Baler, sound of chainsaws and machetes hacking at tree branches everywhere. A lot of damage to trees, roofs etc. The most severe conditions occurred to the north of town. A couple of shots from yesterday before the sun went down

Baler, 0840: typhoon Pepito / Man-yi still looks on track. Kestrels are calibrated and now recording air pressure data, car stashed on higher ground away from any potential flooding. Waves increasing in size, wind is light.

5.45am Baler, Philippines: cat 4 typhoon Pepito / Man-yi is on track to impact this region early afternoon. Current conditions are calm with light rain showers (echo in audio I don’t have time to deal with right now)

Beauty and the beast. A stunning evening in Baler, only the roar of the surf betraying what lies offshore - cat 5 super typhoon Pepito / Man-yi. This town is no stranger to powerful storms but if Pepito pass right over tomorrow it’s going to pack a tremendous punch.

Everyone in the “cone” need to get their typhoon preparations compelte now.

A formidable typhoon - its name Pepito here in the Philippines, Man-yi internationally, and it’s on a crash course with Luzon. It’s likely to scrape Catanduanes Island in the early hours of tomorrow before crashing into Aurora region later tomorrow afternoon. Mark and I are hitting the road soon, where exactly is to be determined.

12hrs of intense driving, night stopping in Manila. Totally spent mentally and physically but grinding on, another powerful storm on the way to cover. This week is proving to be one of the toughest of my career. A highlight from today, utterly jaw dropping scenery

Thanks everyone for joining the stream - we had some bandwidth issues at the end. Very strange events going on with the typhoon Ofel / Usagi. I suspect the center decoupled after landfall, due to the very small size of the core. Mark and I got a very good view of the upper level structure of the storm as the winds suddenly veered to the west. Still trying to figure this all out…

Good morning from Santa Ana, Philippines. Usagi / Ofel went beserk overnight and intensified into a 130kts super typhoon according to the JTWC. It’s a small system with a pinhole eye and core and is expected to make landfall and cross somewhere between Santa Ana and Gonzaga later this afternoon.

Really sketchy moment in the southern eyewall of typhoon Pepito / Manyi in Baler

5.45am Baler, Philippines: cat 4 typhoon Pepito / Man-yi is on track to impact this region early afternoon. Current conditions are calm with light rain showers (echo in audio I don’t have time to deal with right now)

Good morning from Santa Ana, Philippines. Usagi / Ofel went beserk overnight and intensified into a 130kts super typhoon according to the JTWC. It’s a small system with a pinhole eye and core and is expected to make landfall and cross somewhere between Santa Ana and Gonzaga later this afternoon.

Made it safely back to Baler - a really tough chase in a stunning beautiful and rugged part of the Philippines. Mark and I witnessed damage consistent with a category 1 typhoon landfall. And the journey back, encountered a lot of this…

Kaohsiung sustained a battering, probably a record breaking one wind wise, but that will take time to confirm. Ferocious winds sent debris flying and trees down all across the city and surrounding areas. Lots of clips to work through, but a short sample included here

The scars of a previous storm - the Hong Sheng 88, a victim of typhoon Gaemi in July, getting battered by the churning seas of typhoon Krathon in Taiwan

KAOHSIUNG, TAIWAN - 0700: Typhoon Krathon has started its northeast turn towards Taiwan and is expected to make landfall in around 18hrs from now. The storm has weakened slightly from its mighty peak, likely due to cold water upwelling from its slow track speed, but it’s going to pack a major punch when it hits land. This area of the country is not used to direct landfalls with most storms coming from the east and unravelling over the mountains before reaching here. Expecting major flooding in the mountains too. More updates to come…

There are moments in my career when I'm in my absolute element, occasions where a challenge presents itself that absolutely I live for. Early September 2023 was one of those instances. As I was filming typhoon Saola lashing Hong Kong, typhoon Haikui was rapidly intensifying into a cat 3 east of Taiwan and I had to find a way to get there. Two countries, two typhoons in 40 hours - the kind of moment I live for! Video link in the first comment below...
