MANILA, Philippines – Typhoon Kammuri (international name) slightly slows down as it maintains its strength, state weather bureau PAGASA announced in its 11:00 am bulletin on Saturday, November 30, 2019.
At 10:00 am today, the eye of Typhoon 'Kammuri' was estimated based on all available data at 1,220 km East of Southern Luzon or still outside the Philippe Area of Responsibility (PAR).

'Kammuri' mas maximum sustained winds of 150 km/h near the center and gustiness of up to 185 km/h. It is moving West Southwest at 15 km/h.
