PAGASA – Typhoon Tisoy Weakens To Severe Tropical Storm
PAGASA – Weather bureau PAGASA recently said that typhoon Tisoy, internationally called Kammuri, has weakened into a severe tropical storm.
The bureau added that it was last seen at about 275 kilometers west northwest of the city of Calapan, Oriental Mindoro as of 4 AM.
According to ABS-CBN, it was packed with maximum sustained winds of about 100 kilometers per hour and gustiness of up to 125 kilometers per hour.
Tisoy is currently moving west northwest at about 20 kilometers per hour. It is expected to leave the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) between December 4 (Wednesday) night up to December 5 (Thursday) morning.
The bureau further added that Tisoy is predicted to further weaken due to amihan or the northeast monsoon that prevailed over Luzon.
