* - Intensification or minimal weakening even with land interaction. |
||
A - was supertyphoon while at the Pacific Ocean and Philippine Sea and lost strength as it reached Baler Bay and further weakened as it made landfall at Aurora and Quezon. |
||
CALABARZON - Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal and Quezon (Region 4-A). |
||
NCR - National Capital Region (Metro Manila). |
||
Notes: Even though KADING (Rita) maintained supertyphoon intensity for the longest period (96 hours), most of its strength was just over the Pacific Ocean and Philippine Sea, as compared to ROSING (Angela) which intensified over the Philippine Sea and maintained super typhoon intensity for 60 hours over several expanses of land (seven provinces). In 1987, SISANG (Nina) unusually intensified as it crossed the province of Albay (Bicol Region). |
