Typhoon Ulysses weakens, moves away from Luzon

Typhoon Ulysses is now moving away from Luzon and slightly weakening, with only Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal No. 1 remaining in effect.

As of Thursday afternoon, Ulysses was located 200 kilometers west of Iba, Zambales, and is forecast to exit the Philippine Area of Responsibility by Friday morning.

The typhoon's maximum sustained winds have decreased to 120 km/h with gusts up to 150 km/h, a reduction from its peak intensity during landfall.

Areas under Signal No. 1 may still experience strong breeze to near gale-force conditions.

The highest tropical cyclone wind signal previously raised for Ulysses was Signal No. 3.

A surge of the northeast monsoon is also contributing to strong breeze to gale-force winds in Northern Luzon.

Despite weakening, the threat of floods, landslides, and lahar flows persists due to lingering rainfall from the typhoon on Thursday evening.
