Severe Tropical Storm “Gorio” Nears Philippines

Severe Tropical Storm "Gorio" Nears Philippines
On 11 August, Severe Tropical Storm “Gorio,” with maximum sustained winds of 110 km/h, has entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR). The storm is forecast to move westward, potentially making landfall in eastern Taiwan on Wednesday, 13 August, before exiting the PAR that evening. While Gorio is not expected to directly affect the Philippines in the next three days, its track may shift, potentially necessitating a Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal No. 1 for Extreme Northern Luzon. The storm poses a low risk, but potential transportation disruptions, including suspension of maritime operations, cannot be ruled out.
