Nesat (Philippine name Neneng) is located 178 km northeast of Da Nang, Vietnam, and has moved west-northwestward at 15 km/h (8 knots) over the past 6 hours.

Nesat will move slowly west-northwestward to westward over the next 36 hours as it tracks along the southwest edge of the subtropical ridge toward Vietnam.

Nesat is forecast to continue decaying steadily due to persistent southerly wind shear, dry air entrainment and interaction with land. In around 36 hours, the system will slow and dissipate over eastern Vietnam or just east of Vietnam.

AFFECTED AREAS	Luzon -
Meteorological Condition	A tropical cyclone will affect the locality. Winds of greater than 89 km/h up to 117 km/h may be expected for at least 18 hours.
Impact of the Wind	Heavy damage too high–risk structures. Moderate damage to medium-risk structures. Light damage to low-risk structures. Increasing damage (up to more than 50%) to old, dilapidated residential structures and houses of light materials. The majority of all nipa and cogon houses may be unroofed or destroyed. Houses of medium strength materials (old, timber or mixed timber-CHB structures, usually with G.I. roofing’s); some warehouses or bodega-type structures are unroofed. There may be widespread disruption of electrical power and communication services. Almost all banana plants are downed. Some big trees (acacia, mango, etc.) are broken or uprooted. Dwarf-type or hybrid coconut trees are tilted or downed. Rice and corn crops may suffer heavy losses. Damage to shrubbery and trees with foliage blown off; some large trees blown down.
Precautionary Measures	The disturbance is dangerous to the communities threatened/affected. The sea and coastal waters will be very dangerous to all seacrafts. Travel is very risky, especially by sea and air. People are advised to seek shelter in strong buildings, evacuate low-lying areas and to stay away from the coasts and river banks. Watch out for the passage of the “eye” of the typhoon, indicated by a sudden occurrence of fair weather immediately after terrible weather with strong winds coming generally from the north. When the “eye” of the typhoon hit the community, do not venture away from the safe shelter because after one to two hours the worst weather will resume with the strong winds coming from the south. Classes in all levels should be suspended and children should stay in the safety of strong buildings. Disaster preparedness and response agencies/organizations are in action with appropriate response to actual emergency.
What To Do	If the house is not strong enough to withstand the battering of strong winds, go to a designated evacuation center or seek shelter in stronger houses. Stay in safe houses until after the disturbance has left the area. Evacuate from low-lying area and riverbanks and stay away from coastal areas for possible flooding and storm surge. All travel and outdoor activities should be cancelled. Watch out for the passage of the “Eye Wall and the “Eye” of the typhoon.
