At least four people died in the Philippines and hundreds were evacuated as Tropical Storm Yagi shut schools, government offices and foreign exchange trading on Monday.
Yagi, called Enteng in the Philippines, made landfall in Aurora province, more than 300 kilometers (186 miles) from Manila, local weather bureau Pagasa said in its 5pm report. The storm that’s packing maximum sustained winds of 85 kilometers per hour has enhanced the southwest monsoon, causing heavy to intense rains in the capital region and nearby provinces.
