Typhoon Goni, known in the Philippines as Typhoon Rolly, is a small yet extremely powerful Category 5-equivalent super typhoon nearing the Philippines. The 19th named storm, ninth typhoon and second super typhoon of the 2020 Pacific typhoon season, Goni originated as a tropical depression southwest of Guam on October 26. It was then named as Tropical Storm Goni on October 27. Goni explosively intensified over the Philippine Sea, becoming a Category 5-equivalent super typhoon. It is the strongest tropical cyclone worldwide in 2020 so far, in terms of both pressure and sustained winds.

After Typhoon Molave devastated the Philippines, the JMA announced the formation of a new tropical depression in the Pacific Ocean, west of the Mariana Islands, on October 27.[1] Given its proximity to the Philippine Area of Responsibility, along with its westward forecasted track, the PAGASA also began issuing advisories on the newly formed system.[2] By the next day, the JTWC had also followed and upgraded the system into a tropical depression.[3] The storm had good outflow and structure as it approached the Philippine Area of Responsibility.[4]

From left to right; Typhoon Molave, Tropical Storm Goni, and the precursor to Tropical Storm Atsani (at bottom right) on October 28, 2020.

As the system continued tracking westward under favorable conditions in the Pacific Ocean, the JMA and JTWC upgraded the system into a tropical storm, with the JMA assigning the name Goni to the intensifying storm.[5][6][7] The PAGASA followed with an upgrade to a severe tropical storm a few hours later.[8] Due to the warm waters surrounding the storm, the system underwent explosive intensification and became a typhoon.[9][10] On October 29, at 9:30 UTC, Goni entered the PAR and was named Rolly by the PAGASA.[11] By 18:00 UTC, Goni had intensified into a Category 4-equivalent typhoon, with 1-minute sustained winds at 120 knots (220 km/h; 140 mph).[12]

Current storm information

As of 00:00 UTC October 31, Typhoon Goni (Rolly) is located near 15°18′N 128°48′E / 15.3°N 128.8°E / 15.3; 128.8 (Goni), and about 580 nautical miles (1,075 km; 665 mi) east of Manila, Philippines. Maximum 10-minute sustained winds are at 115 knots (215 km/h; 130 mph), while maximum 1-minute sustained winds are at 160 knots (295 km/h; 185 mph), with gusts up to 165 knots (305 km/h; 190 mph). The minimum central barometric pressure is 915 hPa (27.02 inHg), and the system is moving west-southwestward at 12 kn (22 km/h; 14 mph).

Preparations

Philippines

The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) issued evacuation plans for areas to be hit by Goni, just a week after Typhoon Molave struck the Bicol Region.[citation needed] The Bicol Regional Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (RDRRMC) issued a no-sail policy that was put in place on October 29.[13] The Philippine Coast Guard stopped giving travel permits to sea vessels bound for the Polillo Island.[14] On October 30 at 8:00 PHT (0:00 UTC), authorities of Quezon placed the province in red alert in preparation for the storm, which requires operation and monitoring teams to be available at all times as the typhoon worsens. At the same time, the Camarines Norte Incident Management Team began evacuating 35,000 families, around 159,000 people, from high-risk areas, including coastal villages inside the province's bayside capital, Daet. The Research Institute for Tropical Medicine, one of the largest COVID-19 sample testing laboratories in the country, announced a temporary suspension of operations on November 1 and 2 in order to mitigate damage to their building and equipment.[15] On the same day, the NDRRMC had raised a nationwide red alert in preparation for the storm's impact.[16] As the super typhoon neared the country, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology had issued advisories warning of possible lahar contamination of nearby rivers and drainage areas near Mount Pinatubo, the Mayon Volcano, and the Taal Volcano.[17][18]
