Tropical Cyclone Caloy (international name: Hagupit) continues to weaken over the Philippine Sea, with PAGASA forecasting it will downgrade further into a low pressure area (LPA) by Monday, May 11. Early Monday bulletins place the system’s center roughly 480–570 kilometers east of Guiuan or Surigao City, moving generally west-northwestward at about 10–15 kilometers per hour, and packing maximum sustained winds around 45 km/h with gusts up to about 55 km/h. PAGASA earlier reported Caloy would begin weakening on Sunday, first dropping to a tropical depression. Several outlets also note Caloy is expected to remain far from Philippine land, leading to no direct storm impact during the forecast period. However, PAGASA says Caloy’s trough or extension can still affect parts of the country by bringing scattered rains and thunderstorms. Forecast areas mentioned include Eastern Samar, Dinagat Islands, and Surigao del Norte, where moderate to heavy rain may occur and could trigger flooding or landslides. By Monday evening, PAGASA further indicates the LPA may dissipate within about five days.
