移动缓慢的台风“巨爵”星期天袭击了菲律宾北部地区,造成至少一人死亡,数千居民疏散。

台风登陆后强度有所减弱,但是强风暴雨仍然破坏了电线和通讯电缆。这种天气可能会一直持续到星期三。

数万人面临断电的情况。还有一些地方严重积水。台风导致了北部主要岛屿吕宋岛的航班和轮渡取消。

气象预报说,由于北部处在高气压区,同时又有一个台风在西北太平洋洋面上形成,“巨爵”将在吕宋岛停留数日。

气象预报说,台风“巨爵”可能会在未来几天给菲律宾带来多达600毫米的降雨。

Slow moving Typhoon Koppu slammed into the northern Philippines Sunday, killing at least one person and causing thousands to evacuate their homes.

The storm, which has weakened slightly since coming ashore, is still downing power and communication lines with powerful winds and rains that could last until Wednesday.

Tens of thousands are without power and some areas have already been overwhelmed by floodwaters. The typhoon has also disrupted flights and ferry service across the main northern island of Luzon.

Weather forecasters say Koppu will remain over Luzon for several days due to a high pressure area in the north and another typhoon in the northwest Pacific.

Forecasters predict the storm could dump 600 millimeters of rain over the next several days.
