Typhoon Tino (international name: Kalmaegi) continued to intensify on Monday, Nov. 3, as it moved westward toward Eastern Visayas and Caraga, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said.

As of 4 p.m., the center of the typhoon was located 170 kilometers east-southeast of Guiuan, Eastern Samar, moving westward at 20 kilometers per hour (kph).

It had maximum sustained winds near the center of 130 kph, with gustiness of up to 160 kph.

PAGASA said Tino may make landfall or pass very close to Homonhon Island or Dinagat Islands on Monday evening or early Tuesday, Nov. 4.

It is then expected to move over Leyte or Southern Leyte at or near peak intensity, with maximum winds potentially reaching 140–155 kph.

After crossing the Visayas and northern Palawan, the typhoon is expected to emerge over the West Philippine Sea by Wednesday, Nov. 5, and exit the Philippine Area of Responsibility by Thursday, Nov. 6.

PAGASA warned that rapid intensification remains possible and that Tino is expected to stay at typhoon strength throughout its passage.

Residents in affected areas are urged to prepare for strong winds, heavy rainfall, flooding, and possible landslides.
