Severe Tropical Storm Florita (Ma-on), the Philippines’ sixth tropical cyclone for 2022, lashed parts of Luzon with torrential rain and strong winds.
Northern Luzon bore the brunt of the severe tropical storm, which made landfall in the province of Isabela on Tuesday, August 23, then went on to cross Cagayan, Apayao, and Ilocos Norte on the same day.
Florita also enhanced the southwest monsoon, which dumped rain in several areas in Luzon and the Visayas.
