‘Karding’ now affecting Polillo Islands, landfall likely in Quezon province
MANILA, Philippines — The eyewall of Super Typhoon “Karding” is now affecting Polillo Islands, PAGASA said in its 5 p.m. bulletin on Sunday.
"Karding" is expected to maintain its strength before landfall, “likely” within the are of the northern part of Quezon province tonight, but the state weather bureau notes it is still possible “Karding” will make its landfall within the vicinity of Polillo Islands.
“Frictional effects during landfall and traverse of the Luzon landmass will weaken KARDING throughout the evening through tomorrow early morning, although it is highly likely that this tropical cyclone will remain a typhoon while crossing the landmass,” PAGASA said.
