(Eagle News) — Tropical Storm “Inday” is expected to exit the Philippine Area of Responsibility on Sunday or Monday next week.
According to the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration, as of 5 a.m., “Inday” was located 1,215 km east of Central Luzon.
It is packing maximum sustained winds of 75 kph near the center and a gustiness of up to 90 kph.
