  • The tropical cyclone is moving west across the central Philippines on 28 December before emerging into the South China Sea this weekend.

  • Some areas are likely to receive as much as 250-500 mm of rainfall, particularly across the central Philippines and eastern Luzon. Thereafter, the cyclone is only expected to undergo gradual strengthening, with the main impact being a further spell of heavy rain to parts of Vietnam.

  • Prolonged heavy rain will likely cause flash and alluvial flooding, while strong winds and high waves may cause some disruption to transport, infrastructure and utilities.
