Typhoon Kammuri,known in the Philippines as Typhoon Tisoy,was a powerful typhoon which impacted the Philippines in early December 2019. Kammuri,which means crown or Corona Borealis in Japanese,the twenty-eighth named storm and sixteenth typhoon of the 2019 Pacific typhoon season,Kammuri developed from a tropical wave situated a couple hundred kilometers south of the Mariana Islands. From November 25 to 27,the system tracked westward at a steady pace and rate of intensification,first making minor impacts in Guam. On November 28,the system intensified into a typhoon as environmental conditions became marginally conducive for significant development. From November 29 to December 1,Kammuri was unable to strengthen to previous estimates due to its near stationary movement as a result of weak steering currents,upwelling itself consequently. On December 2,the system tracked westward at a much faster speed of 19 km/h (12 mph) and rapidly intensified over warm Philippine Sea waters,before making landfall in the Bicol Region of the Philippines at peak intensity as a category 4-equivalent typhoon.
