MANILA, Philippines – Tropical Storm Amang (international name Mekkhala) has weakened as it makes its way to Northern Luzon.
Amang’s center was spotted 35 kilometers north northwest of Daet, Camarines Norte at 4 pm on Sunday (January 18), according to state weather bureau PAGASA.
It was packing winds of 64 kilometers per hour (km/h) to 80 km/h and is likely to move north northwest at a speed of 15 km/h.
Amang now poses only a threat to parts of Luzon.
Three areas remain under public storm warning signal number 2:
