The system was last located approximately 10km northeast of Legazpi City, Albay, 40km northwest of Sorsogon City, Sorsogon, 60km southwest of Virac, Catanduanes, or about 80km southeast of Naga City, Camarines Sur. Maximum sustained winds are at 185kph with gusts of up to 230kph making Rammasun a Category 3 Typhoon!

Latest satellite image shows the eye of Rammasun (Glenda) making landfall in Albay. The system rapidly intensified with a clear 20-km diameter eye forming surrounded by a very symmetrical Central Dense Overcast. Legazpi City reported a pressure drop to 974mb along with winds of up to 100kph. We're expecting the city to get raked in the next few hours which will definitely bring significant wind damage and even storm surge along the coast.
Forecast Track (NOT OFFICIAL!)
Typhoon Rammasun will continue moving west northwestward moving across the provinces in the Bicol Region tonight. Heavy rains will continue across Southern Luzon and parts of Visayas along with strong winds. Stormy conditions will soon move into parts of CALABARZON including Metro Manila in the morning hours tomorrow (Wednesday) with the worst conditions likely to occur in Manila around noontime.
By Wednesday evening, we're forecasting Glenda to move into Central Luzon and eventually exit into the South China Sea (West Philippine Sea). However, rains will not end across Luzon until Thursday morning. We're expecting a total of up to 300mm of rain in some areas in Luzon.
We'll have another update in the morning. Stay safe!
