Typhoon Force Winds (118 km/hr or more) extend outward up to 75 kilometers (40 nautical miles) from the center...and Tropical Storm Force Winds (62-117 km/hr) extend outward up to 295 kilometers (160 nautical miles). NESAT is a very large-sized tropical cyclone with a diameter of 1,100 kilometers (600 nautical miles).
