Typhoon Ragasa seen from space

Captured on 24 September 2025 by EUMETSAT’s MetOp-B satellite, this image shows Typhoon Ragasa swirling south of Hong Kong. Days earlier, Ragasa struck the northern Philippines with winds reaching 295 km/h, causing evacuations, power cuts and widespread disruption. Having since weakened from super typhoon status, it has made landfall in southern China and moved west-northwest.
