Manila, Philippines—The Philippines raised a fresh weather alert on Monday, days more than 100 people were killed by the worst storm of the year.
Nearly a million people are still sheltering at evacuation centres or with relatives after losing their homes or being driven out by floodwaters brought by Severe Tropical Storm Trami, also known as ‘Kristine,’ which struck from October 22.Now the national weather agency says Tropical Storm Kong-rey, locally known as ‘Leon,’ will bring heavy rain and severe wind to land in coming hours, and cause rough seas off the east coast.
‘Leon’ will strengthen into a typhoon by Tuesday and pass close to small Philippine islands in the north as early as Wednesday, the weather service said in a bulletin.Trami, by contrast, struck some of the country’s most populous areas.“Considering the current movement, a further westward shift in forecast track is not ruled out,” it said of the latest storm, which would bring it closer to the country than earlier forecast.
