Where Typhoon In-Fa is and where it is forecast to go
Infrared satellite image from Himawari-9 taken 04 Nov 2026, 07:20 UTC (NASA GIBS layer, clean infrared band 13: the colder and higher the cloud tops, the brighter or more coloured they appear), with coastlines. White dots: past positions; gold dots and dashed line: forecast positions with their UTC day and hour; red ring: latest position. The track is drawn from the GDACS record of the JTWC advisories and can differ from the satellite image time.

How to read this: “Observed” rows are past positions from the warning centre, “Forecast” rows are its official forecast positions and change with every new advisory. Wind figures are maximum sustained winds converted from the advisory (1 knot = 1.852 km/h). The two population columns are GDACS model estimates of how many people live inside winds of at least 39 mph (63 km/h) and 74 mph (119 km/h) at that position.
