Live tracking map, satellite, radar, and forecasts of Tropical Storm Maysak 2026 (台風10号) near Hainan, China. Current wind speed 65km/h. Max 75km/h.
Maysak (Philippine name Henry) is located 306 km north-northeast of Da Nang, Vietnam, and has tracked northward at 17 km/h (9 knots) over the past 6 hours. Maximum significant wave height is 3.7 meters (12 feet).
Maysak has slowly made its way onshore of Hainan island over the past 3 hours on a north-northwestward track.
The weakening of the southwestern extension of the primary steering ridge centered to the northeast is expected to facilitate the north-northwestward trajectory for the next 24 hours, turning north then northeastward through the remainder of the forecast period.
The system is expected to reemerge over the Gulf of Tonkin within the next 10 hours along this track, then make a second landfall along the sino-Vietnamese border region just after 24 hours.
A brief period of intensification up to a peak of 85 km/h (45 knots) is expected as Maysak transits over the Gulf of Tonkin, followed by rapid dissipation upon landfall over southeast China.
Model track guidance is in good agreement about the trajectory of Maysak throughout the forecast period, with minimal across- and along-track spread.
The JTWC track is placed close to the multi-model consensus with high confidence throughout the forecast period. Intensity guidance is in good agreement about the period of intensification over the Gulf of Tonkin, remaining within a 10 km/h (5 knots) envelope until rapid dissipation occurs over land.
The JTWC intensity forecast is placed close to the consensus with high confidence.
