Tropical Storm Basyang weakened into a tropical depression as it approached Bohol on Friday, February 6, 2026, according to PAGASA. It continues to bring moderate to intense rain to 24 provinces, raising risks of floods and landslides. A landslide in Cagayan de Oro killed four family members.
Typhoon Tino (Kalmaegi), the Philippines' 20th tropical cyclone of 2025, struck Southern Leyte, Cebu, and Negros Occidental early on November 4, bringing destructive winds and torrential rains to the Visayas. The storm, with maximum sustained winds of 150 km/h and gusts up to 205 km/h, prompted widespread wind signals and warnings for floods, landslides, and storm surges. PAGASA forecasts it will cross northern Palawan before exiting to the West Philippine Sea by November 5.
