Super Typhoon Man-yi made landfall in the Philippines on Saturday, with winds reaching 195 kilometers per hour. It is the sixth major storm to hit the country in just one month, marking an unusual weather pattern for November. Over half a million people evacuated their homes as the storm approached. Authorities warned of severe impacts, including dangerous storm surges and heavy rainfall that could trigger volcanic mudflows from nearby volcanoes. The recent storms have already caused significant damage, resulting in at least 163 deaths and thousands displaced. This cluster of storms is a rare event, occurring outside the typical cyclone season.
