According to the US Joint Typhoon Warning Center, as of December 2, 2014 international typhoon Hagupit also known as Tropical Storm 22W, the Pacific typhoon has a speed of 230 knots or equivalent to 240 kph. One of the two scenarios is that it would landfall in Eastern Visayas, and its strength before making a landfall would be between 150 and 175 kph. During the first case scenarios a storm surge of 3 to 4 meters is also possible. The second scenario for Bagyong Hagupit, it will recurve to the north toward southern Japan and will not make a landfall in the Philippines. The permanent high pressure area in Northern Philippines will greatly affect the outcome of Bagyong Hagupit. Once the high pressure area in Japan slows down, Bagyong Hagupit will not hit the country but if the high pressure area in Japan will intensify, Bagyong Hagupit will surely affect the areas of the Visayas Region. PS:The name “Hagupit” is just one of the few name contribution of the Philippines to the international typhoon names. Some of the name contribution of the Philippines includes Maliksi, Danas, Lupit, Talas, Cimaron, Hagibis, Molave, Malakas, and Talim. Be Safe everyone~! Especially to Visayas CITP - Admin Mican Central Visayas
