MANILA, Philippines – (UPDATED) Typhoon Kammuri has entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) and was named 'Tisoy'.
Typhoon Tisoy, the 20th Philippine tropical cyclone for 2019, entered PAR at 4:00 pm, state weather bureau PAGASA said.
At 4:00 pm today, the center of Typhoon 'Tisoy' was located based on all available data at 1,165 km East of Virac, Catanduanes.
'Tisoy' has maximum sustained winds of up to 150 km/h near the center and gustiness of up to 185 km/h. It is moving West Southwest at 15 km/h.
'Bagyong Tisoy' is forecast to make landfall over Bicol Region between Monday afternoon (December 2) and Tuesday early morning (December 3).
Tropical cyclone wind signal (TCWS) No. 1 (30-60 km/h winds prevailing or expected in 36 hours) is up over Eastern Samar and eastern section of Northern Samar (Laoang, Palapag, Mapanas, Gamay, Lapinig, Catubig and Las Navas).
Rainfall outlook for Monday (02 December): Occasional to frequent heavy rains over Bicol Region, Samar provinces, and Biliran. Moderate to occasional heavy rains over Romblon, Marinduque, and Quezon.
Rainfall outlook for Monday (December 3): Frequent to continuous heavy rains over Metro Manila, Bicol Region, CALABARZON, Mindoro provinces, Marinduque, Romblon, Zambales, Bataan, Pampanga, and Bulacan. Moderate to occasional heavy rains over the rest of Luzon.
Residents in the aforementioned areas, especially those living in areas identified to be highly or very highly susceptible to flooding and rain-induced landslides, are advised to take appropriate actions, coordinate with local disaster risk reduction and management offices, and continue monitoring for updates, especially the Thunderstorm or Rainfall Advisories and Heavy Rainfall Warnings to be issued by PAGASA Regional Services Divisions.
Sea travel is risky, especially for small sea crafts, over the seaboards of areas under TCWS, the northern and western seaboards of Northern Luzon and the eastern seaboards of the country due to prevailing or forecast rough sea conditions.
Signal No. 1 may be raised over the rest of Northern Samar, Samar, Catanduanes, and Sorsogon in the next bulletin. Disruption of maritime travel may be experienced over these areas.
The country, with prime locations in Central Luzon, Metro Manila and Southern Luzon, is currently hosting the 30th Southeast Asian Games. Opening and closing ceremonies are set on November 30 and December 11, respectively.
