Super Typhoon NORU (localname: Karding) as of 1700 HRS UTC+7, 25 Sep 2022 (1/2) <br /> <br /> 1. OVERVIEW: NORU (Karding) reached Super Typhoon Category after a period of explosive intensification. The center of the eye of Super Typhoon KARDING was estimated based on all available data over the coastal waters of Burdeos, Polillo Islands, Quezon (15.0 °N, 122.1 °E ) <br /> <br /> 2. STRENGTH: Maximum sustained winds of 195 km/h near the center and gustiness of up to 240 km/h equivalent to a Category 4 Hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale <br /> <br /> 3. MOVEMENT: Moving Westward at 20 km/h. <br /> <br /> 4. FORECAST: <br /> - NORU is forecast to track generally westward in the next 6 to 12 hours, then west-northwestward. <br /> - NORU will likely make landfall in the vicinity of the northern portion of Quezon tonight. <br /> - This evening post-landfall through tomorrow early morning, NORU will traverse the landmass of Central Luzon and emerge over the West Philippine Sea via the coastal waters of Zambales or Pangasinan, the Philippines . <br /> - NORU will then continue tracking generally westward over the West Philippine Sea. <br /> <br /> 5. INTENSITY: <br /> - NORU reached super typhoon category at 0600 HRS UTC+7 today after a period of explosive intensification in 24 hours. <br /> - It is forecast to continue intensifying and may make landfall at or near a peak intensity of 195-240 km/h equivalent to Category 4 hurricane in the Saffir-Simpson Scale (devastating damage will occur). <br /> - As a comparison last year, in December 2021, peak intensity upon landfall of Typhoon RAI is 195 km/h (equivalent to Category 3 hurricane Saffir Simpson Scale) has affect around 2.3M people (Catastrophic Disaster as per DMA Guideline) in the Philippines. <br /> - According to ASEAN DMRS, NORU is expected to make landfall as a Category 5 hurricane, highest level on Saffir Simpson Scale (Catastrophic damage will occur), with sustained winds of about 268 km/h. <br /> - Frictional effects during landfall and traverse of the Luzon landmass will weaken NORU throughout the evening through tomorrow early morning, although it is highly likely that NORU will remain a typhoon while crossing the landmass. <br /> <br /> 6.
