    The town of San Antonio in Philippines' main island Luzon, along with several other towns in the Nueva Ecija province, has been completely flooded,

  • Do you know?

    Why is Typhoon Koppu 'slow-moving' ?

  • Typhoon Koppu, 650 kilometers across, is in close proximity to Typhoon Champi. A complex interaction between the two storms is creating a ridge of high pressure over Taiwan, which is effectively trapping Koppu from heading away from Philippines.
