It seems Typhoon DIANMU has passed its peak intensity, but it is, from the beginning, a gigantic one, so it still keeps its power. The shape of clouds takes a beautifully rounded shape, but the boundary of the eye looks a little vague with the tendency of enlargement. In the afternoon, the eye got larger than yesterday, and the boundary became clear again.
