Tropical Update

We apologize for the recent inactivity of this blog in the past couple of days.
Anyway, here's what happened during our absence, which we're sure you already know.

• Tropical Storm "Santi" left the Philippine Area of Responsibility around 1pm of November 1. It moved into Vietnam and has been downgraded into a tropical depression.
  

• Tropical Depression "Tino" has formed off the coast of Northeast Luzon; maximum winds reached 55kph at one point. Due to the Amihan (Northeast Monsoon), Tino tracked south-southwestward, moving into the Bicol Region.

PAGASA has downgraded Tino into a Low Pressure Area (LPA) as it moves into the Visayas region. Provinces in the Central Visayas should experience moderate rain and winds in the next day or so.

Elsewhere in the Pacific, no tropical activity near the Philippines is being watched.

The next Tropical Update will be issued at around 3am PST.
