Tropical Storm #RamilPH maintained its strength afternoon on Sunday, October 19, 2025, as it moved across Central Luzon and neared the coastal waters of Zambales, where it is expected to exit land soon.

At 2 p.m., PAGASA located the storm’s center in the vicinity of Olongapo City, Zambales. Ramil packed maximum sustained winds of 65 kilometers per hour (kph) and gusts reaching 90 kph while moving west-northwest at 15 kph.

The weather bureau said Ramil will likely leave the Luzon landmass this afternoon and exit the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) by Monday morning. Once over the West Philippine Sea, the storm could re-intensify into a severe tropical storm.
