The first super typhoon of the season in the West Pacific is closely approaching the Central Philippines this weekend.

On Saturday afternoon local time, the typhoon strengthened into a super typhoon with sustained winds of 150 mph (240 kph), which is equivalent to a strong category 4 Atlantic hurricane.

Super Typhoon Surigae has been slowly moving toward the Philippines since it developed earlier this week, yet rapidly intensified on Friday. Rapid intensification occurs when a tropical cyclone strengthens 35 mph in a 24 hour period.

Surigae, known locally in the Philippines as Typhoon Bising, strengthened from a tropical storm Thursday to the equivalent of a Category 4 hurricane with winds of 135 mph (215 kph) on Friday.

Surigae is forecast to continue to strengthen and could reach sustained winds of 155 mph (250 kph) on Saturday night, which is very close to the wind speeds of a category 5 hurricane, 157 mph or higher.

Sa mga matatamaan, ingat po kayo always mga lodi.

Swerte tayo dahil sa offshore lang yang super typhoon na yan at north-east pa ang path niya. Madidilaan lang tayo ng bugso ng ulan galing sa Western Pacific - pampawi ng saglit sa init ng panahon. Sa eastern shoreline natin yung medyo apektado nito. Yung projection ng JMA, JTWC as well as PAGASA ay more or less accurate. Monitor na lang natin yung real-time updates (satellite/map/data updates) sa links below...

Pero maigi na rin yung handa kung sakaling lumihis man siya at mag-landfall dito.
