Julian weakens from super typhoon to typhoon

[Sneaky2021]

Super Typhoon Julian with international name Krathon, was downgraded into the typhoon category on Wednesday morning, state meteorologists said. Julian decelerated into a typhoon at 2:00 a.m., according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa). As of 4:00 a.m., the typhoon’s center was last spotted 280 km west-northwest of Itbayat, Batanes, packing maximum sustained winds of 165 kilometers per hour (kph) with gustiness of 205 kph. Batanes, Babuyan Islands, the northern and western portions of Ilocos Norte, and the northwestern portion of mainland Cagayan are still under Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal No. 1, where 39 to 61 kph wind speed are expected. This condition entails minimal to minor threats to life and property. Julian is still outside the Philippine area of responsibility and is now heading towards Taiwan. Julian is seen to weaken and may become a remnant low referring to a former tropical cyclone that no longer has enough qualities to be considered such over the weekend.​

Glad to hear Super Typhoon Julian was downgraded, but it’s still a strong reminder of how powerful nature can be . Hoping everyone in Batanes, Babuyan Islands, and other affected areas stays safe as the winds pass through. Let’s all keep an eye on the weather updates and stay prepared. Stay safe, everyone!

It’s a relief to hear that Super Typhoon Julian is slowly weakening. Hopefully, it will continue to lose strength as it moves on so that it won't affect more countries.
