Typhoon Tino (international name: Kalmaegi) continues to gain strength as it barrels toward Eastern Visayas and Caraga, prompting Signal No. 4 in several provinces.
The storm is expected to make landfall tonight or early tomorrow morning (Nov. 4), according to the 5:00 PM update from PAGASA.
Where Tino Is Now
As of 4:00 PM Monday, the center of Tino was located 170 kilometers east-southeast of Guiuan, Eastern Samar — based on data from the Guiuan Doppler Weather Radar. It’s packing maximum sustained winds of 130 km/h, with gusts of up to 160 km/h, while moving westward at 20 km/h.
The storm’s strong to typhoon-force winds extend up to 300 kilometers from the center — wide enough to affect multiple provinces across the Visayas and Mindanao.
Areas Under Wind Signals
• Signal No. 4 (Typhoon-force winds – 118 to 184 km/h)
• Possible within 12 hours; severe threat to life and property.
Visayas:
• Eastern Samar (Guiuan), Southern Leyte, southern part of Leyte, Camotes Islands, and northeastern Bohol
Mindanao:
• Dinagat Islands, Siargao, and Bucas Grande Islands
Signal No. 3 (Storm-force winds – 89 to 117 km/h)
• Possible within 18 hours; moderate to significant threat to life and property.
• Cebu (including Bantayan and Camotes Islands), central and eastern Bohol, Leyte, northern Negros, Guimaras, Iloilo, parts of Samar and Eastern Samar, and Surigao del Norte
Signal No. 2 (Gale-force winds – 62 to 88 km/h)
• Possible within 24 hours; minor to moderate threat.
• Parts of Masbate, Romblon, and Cuyo Islands, as well as large portions of Eastern Visayas, Negros, Capiz, Aklan, and northern Mindanao
Signal No. 1 (Strong winds – 39 to 61 km/h)
• Possible within 36 hours; minimal to minor threat.
• Southern Luzon (including Albay, Sorsogon, Masbate, Mindoro, Palawan), Northern Samar, and parts of Mindanao including Misamis Oriental, Bukidnon, and Agusan provinces
Heavy Rain, Flooding, and Landslides Ahead
PAGASA warns of torrential rains tonight through tomorrow due to the combined effects of Tino and the Shear Line. Flooding and landslides are likely in Eastern Visayas, Bicol Region, Northern Mindanao, and parts of Central Visayas.
Residents in high-risk areas are urged to evacuate early and stay tuned to local disaster offices for real-time updates.
Storm Surge and Rough Seas
A Storm Surge Warning No. 5 is in effect, with waves possibly exceeding 3 meters along coastal areas of Masbate, Romblon, Mindoro, Palawan, Visayas, and parts of Mindanao.
“These surges can cause life-threatening flooding in coastal communities,” PAGASA warned.
A Gale Warning also covers most eastern and southern seaboards, with waves reaching up to 9 meters high in the open seas near Eastern Samar. Sea travel is not advised for all types of vessels.
What’s Next for Tino
Tino is projected to make landfall over Homonhon Island or Dinagat Islands tonight or early Tuesday morning, before crossing Leyte, Southern Leyte, and northern Palawan through Wednesday.
Despite possible weakening due to land interaction, the storm is expected to remain a typhoon while traversing the country, then exit the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) by Thursday morning (Nov. 6).
At landfall, Tino may reach peak winds of up to 155 km/h, and PAGASA noted that rapid intensification remains possible.
PAGASA’s Reminder to the Public
PAGASA and disaster officials are urging everyone, especially those in coastal and mountainous communities, to stay alert.
“Residents in high-risk areas should follow evacuation orders and closely monitor official weather bulletins,” PAGASA said.
