Typhoon Kammuri Documentation in Philippines (Photos)

Typhoon Tisoy (Kammuri) is the Philippines’ 20th typhoon this year, highlighting that the Philippines is perhaps the country most vulnerable to and most impacted by strong typhoons. Scientists are saying that the warming of the world is making weather events such as typhoons stronger. Typhoon Tisoy is not a super typhoon, but its impacts will still be heavily felt by Filipino communities which are in its path. Similar to other strong typhoons we’ve had in the recent past, this is what climate change looks like, and the scientific projections say we will experience stronger storms due to the rise in global temperatures.
