Tropical Storm Hagupit (May 2026): Latest Track, Impacts, and Safety Guidance

Tropical Storm Hagupit is a western Pacific tropical cyclone being monitored in early May 2026. This page summarizes what’s known from publicly available storm-position data and answers common questions people search for (track, intensity, affected areas, and where to find official updates).

Latest status (based on available position fixes)

  • Time window covered: 2026-05-06 to 2026-05-10 (UTC)
  • Approximate location trend: moving generally westward from about 7.6°N 147.5°E toward about 10.3°N 131.0°E
  • Peak listed intensity in the fixes provided: about 40 kt (around 2026-05-08 00:00–06:00 UTC)
  • Recent listed intensity: about 25 kt by 2026-05-10 06:00–12:00 UTC

What this suggests: Hagupit appears to have weakened after a brief period near 40 kt while continuing westward across the western Pacific. For the most current intensity classification and warnings, rely on official meteorological agencies (see “Official updates” below).

Where is Tropical Storm Hagupit going?

Based on the sequence of coordinates available, the storm’s motion has been predominantly westward with a gradual increase in latitude (from roughly 7–8°N up toward ~10°N). That pattern is consistent with steering by the subtropical ridge common in this region.

Key takeaway for residents and mariners: even if the center stays offshore, outer rainbands can bring squalls, rough seas, and localized flooding well away from the core.

Potential impacts to watch

Marine and coastal hazards

  • Rough seas and dangerous surf: winds around 25–40 kt can build hazardous wave conditions, especially along the storm’s forward/right side (relative to motion).
  • Squalls: brief bursts of stronger wind and reduced visibility in heavy rain.

Rain and flooding

  • Heavy showers: tropical systems can produce intense rainfall rates that overwhelm drainage.
  • Localized flash flooding: most likely in low-lying areas and near small streams.

Wind impacts

At tropical-storm strength, impacts often include downed branches, sporadic power interruptions, and difficult travel for small craft. Stronger gusts can occur in squalls even when sustained winds are lower.

Which areas could be affected?

The provided fixes place Hagupit in the western Pacific near ~130–150°E and ~7–10°N during May 6–10. That corridor can be relevant to parts of Micronesia and surrounding waters, depending on the exact track and size of the circulation.

Because tropical cyclone impacts depend on the storm’s size and forecast track, check your national weather service for watches/warnings and marine advisories.

Official updates (recommended sources)

For authoritative advisories, watches/warnings, and forecast tracks, consult official meteorological agencies serving your area. Options commonly used in the western Pacific include:

Note: You asked for news links from SERP and to avoid linking to JTWC. The SERP tool did not return any verifiable, up-to-date news articles in the results provided here, so no news links are included to avoid adding non-real or unverified URLs.

Frequently asked questions about Tropical Storm Hagupit

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

No. “Hagupit” is a name that can be reused in the western North Pacific naming list. The 2014 system (known as Ruby in the Philippines) was a different cyclone. This page refers to the May 2026 storm.

How strong is Hagupit right now?

In the position fixes available for May 6–10, the listed winds range from about 25 kt to 40 kt, with weakening indicated by May 10. For the current official intensity and classification, check the latest advisory from your meteorological agency.

What does “kt” mean?

“kt” stands for knots, a unit of speed used in meteorology and marine forecasting. 1 kt ≈ 1.15 mph ≈ 1.85 km/h.

What should I do if I’m in the projected path?

  • Monitor official advisories at least twice daily (more often if warnings are issued).
  • Prepare for power outages: charge devices, have batteries/flashlights, and store drinking water.
  • Secure loose outdoor items and review your evacuation/shelter plan.
  • Avoid coastal waters and follow small-craft advisories; conditions can deteriorate quickly.
  • “Tropical Storm Hagupit track” – The available fixes show a westward track from ~147.5°E to ~131.0°E between May 6–10 (UTC).
  • “Will Hagupit hit land?” – Land impacts depend on the forecast track and storm size; consult official warnings for your location.
  • “Hagupit wind speed” – Listed winds in the provided fixes range ~25–40 kt.
  • “Hagupit updates” – Use official meteorological agencies for the latest advisories; news links are not included here because no verifiable SERP articles were returned.
