Tropical Depression Wilma slows down over Philippine Sea
Tropical Depression Wilma, the country's 23rd tropical cyclone for 2025, has entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility.
As of 4 p.m. Thursday, Wilma was located 575 kilometers east of Catarman, Northern Samar, moving west-southwest at 10 km/h.
It has maximum sustained winds of 45 km/h and gustiness of up to 55 km/h.
PAGASA expects Wilma to make landfall in Eastern Visayas or Dinagat Islands between Friday evening and Saturday morning.
The tropical depression is projected to cross the Visayas until Sunday, December 7, then emerge over the Sulu Sea and move over northern Palawan between Sunday evening and Monday morning.
Wilma could slightly intensify before landfall but is likely to remain a tropical depression.
It is expected to trigger moderate to intense rains, potentially causing floods and landslides in parts of the Visayas and Mindanao.
