Super Typhoon Man-Yi makes landfall in the Philippines as sixth storm in a month

Super Typhoon Man-Yi, the sixth typhoon to hit the Philippines in a month, made landfall on Catanduanes island with winds of 195 km/h. Evacuations have affected at least 500,000 people as authorities warn of life-threatening conditions. Heavy rains and winds up to 270 km/h are expected, with over 300mm of rain forecast for northern areas, raising the risk of flooding and mudslides. Manila may avoid the worst impacts as the storm tracks north. Previous storms this month have already caused at least 160 deaths. The unusual frequency of typhoons in November has raised concerns among residents, many of whom are still recovering from earlier disasters.
