Tropical depression Tino tends to change direction to the West while still operating in the sea east of the Philippines.
According to the trajectory forecast, the center of the tropical depression may make landfall in the Caraga or Eastern Visayas region on the morning of November 4.

Tropical depression Tino is expected to continue to strengthen while still at sea and is likely to reach typhoon level on November 24.
The scenario of a stronger system right before making landfall cannot be ruled out.
Typhoon Tino is forecast to enter the South China Sea on November 6. If it enters the East Sea, it will be the 13th storm of the 2025 typhoon season.
Residents and tourists are advised to closely monitor further reports on the developments of the tropical depression and the possible storm system.
