Typhoon Rosal has continued to weaken and slow its movement as it moves northwestward over the eastern part of Batanes, according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa). The weather bureau reported that the storm’s speed had decreased from 25 kilometers per hour.
Pagasa weather specialist John Manalo noted in the 5 p.M. Weather advisory that Rosal may further weaken into a severe tropical storm by Saturday, October 24. The storm is expected to maintain its northwestward trajectory as it approaches the region. No immediate threat to populated areas has been identified, but authorities are monitoring its progress closely.
Typhoon Rosal formed in the western Pacific Ocean and has been tracking toward the northern Philippines. This is the third typhoon to affect the region this year, following similar weather patterns observed in previous months. PAGASA has issued regular updates to ensure the public remains informed about the storm’s development and potential impact. The weakening trend suggests that Rosal may no longer pose a significant threat to coastal communities, though further monitoring is essential.
