MANILA, Philippines – Tropical Storm Karding maintained its strength on Friday evening, September 23, but the weather bureau warned that the tropical cyclone is still expected to intensify before making landfall in Northern Luzon.
Karding continues to move over the Philippine Sea. It was last spotted 895 kilometers east of Northern Luzon, moving west southwest at the same speed of 15 kilometers per hour . “Frictional effects of the rugged terrain of Northern Luzon may result in some slight weakening, although Karding will likely be at severe tropical storm category once it emerges over the West Philippine Sea,” PAGASA said.
Under PAGASA’s classification, a severe tropical storm has maximum sustained winds ranging from 89 to 117 km/h, while a typhoon has maximum sustained winds of 118 to 184 km/h.
