MANILA, Philippines – Tropical Storm Ofel continued to weaken in the early hours of Saturday, November 16, following its reentry into the Philippine Area of Responsibility . The tropical storm was located 240 kilometers northwest of Itbayat, Batanes, as of 4 am on Saturday. It is over the sea west of Taiwan, which is within PAR, and slowly moving north northeast.
The tropical storm is expected to further weaken “due to the increasingly unfavorable environment and interaction with the mountainous terrain of Taiwan,” PAGASA added.At its peak, Ofel was a super typhoon with maximum sustained winds of 185 km/h, reaching this category early Thursday morning, November 14. But hours later, it was downgraded to a typhoon, before it made landfall in Baggao, Cagayan, at 1:30 pm that day.
