PAGASA said Kristine was forecast to “pass close to Amami Islands and Tokara Islands in the Ryukyu Archipelago” in Japan later yesterday.

“Afterwards, the typhoon will head towards the sea off the west coast of Kyushu (Japan) and the Korean Peninsula,” it added.

Kristine did not affect the country’s weather while inside the PAR.

PAGASA said Metro Manila and the rest of the country will experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers due to the southwest monsoon and localized thunderstorm. — Victor Reyes
