MANILA, Philippines – Tropical Storm Rolly (international name: Goni) intensified slightly as it is expected to leave the Philippines Area of Responsibility (PAR) on Tuesday, according to the state meteorological office.
In its 11 a.m. weather bulletin, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said Rolly is expected to remain a tropical storm during the office’s forecast period.
Rolly was last seen 540 kilometers west of Subic, Zambales.
The tropical storm also saw maximum sustained winds of 75 kilometers per hour (kph) near the center and gusts of up to 90 kph.
Rolly was monitored moving west southwest at 15 km / h.
According to Pagasa data, Rolly no longer affects the country. However, Rolly, along with Tropical Storm Siony and improved northeast winds, will bring rough to very rough seas (2.8 to 4.5 meters) over the northern shores of Luzon.
Because of this, sea travel is risky on the northern shores of Luzon, especially for those using small boats, Pagasa warned.
Formerly a super typhoon, Rolly left at least 16 people dead and P5,756 billion in damage as it hit southern Luzon on Sunday.
Rolly is also considered the strongest tropical cyclone in the world so far in 2020.
