PAGASA: Tropical Storm Siony now inside PAR


As Typhoon Rolly continues to bring strong winds and rain to southern, central Luzon and Metro Manila areas, Tropical Storm Siony has entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR), state weather bureau PAGASA said Sunday.

At a news briefing, PAGASA said Siony was located at 1,365 kilometers east of Central Luzon with maximum sustained winds of 75 km per hour and gustiness of up to 90 kph.

It is moving west northwest at 30 kph, PAGASA added.

But the weather bureau said Siony still has no direct effect yet in any part of the country. 

As of 11 a.m., PAGASA said Super Typhoon Rolly has weakened into a typhoon but still poses a threat as Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal No. 4 was raised over 20 areas. — Joviland Rita/RSJ, GMA News
