MANILA, Philippines — A typhoon approaching the country from the east will enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) on Wednesday, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said on Sunday.
In its 10:30 a.m weather bulletin, the state weather bureau said the typhoon, which has an international name “Maysak,” was last located 2,810 km east of Mindanao. “Maysak” packed maximum sustained winds of 130 kph near the center and gusts of up to 160 kph.
It is moving in a westward direction at 20 kph.
Pagasa said “Maysak” was too far to affect any part of the country.
When “Maysak” enters the country, it will be named “Chedeng.”
