The twenty-eighth named storm and 16th typhoon of the [[2019 Pacific typhoon season]], Kammuri developed from a tropical wave situated a couple hundred miles of the Mariana Islands. From November 25 up until November 27, the system tracked westward at a steady pace and rate of intensification, first making minimal landfall in Guam. On November 28, the system intensified into a typhoon as environmental conditions became marginally conducive for significant development. From November 29 up until late December 1, Kammuri was unable to strengthen to previous estimates due to its very little movement as a result of weak steering currents, and it began [[upwelling]] as a result of this. On December 2, the system tracked westward at a much faster speed of 12 mph (19 km/h) and [[rapid intensification|rapidly intensified]] before making landfall on the Philippines at peak intensity as a category 4-equivalent typhoon. ==Meteorological history== {{storm path|Kammuri 2019 track.png}} On November 23, 2019, a low pressure system developed to the southeast of Guam. It then began to show signs of development and earned a defined circulation, developing into a tropical depression on November 25, with the JTWC assigning it as ''29W''. The depression then began to develop banding features to the northeast of its center. The storm then intensified slightly, earning the name ''Kammuri'', which is the [[Japanese language|Japanese]] word for the [[constellation]] [[Corona Borealis]]. Kammuri then passed south of Guam, and further intensified into a severe tropical storm on November 27, and then into a typhoon the next day. [[Upwelling]] of itself due to its quasi-stationary movement combined with moderate wind shear hindered significant intensification of Kammuri over the next three days, as it entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility with PAGASA assigning the name ''Tisoy'', which is the Tagalog word referring to white people. As it neared the Philippines, Kammuri began to show signs of rapid intensification again on December 1, first becoming a Category 2 system, and later becoming a Category 3 storm and forming a very large eye, and then later strengthening into a [[Saffir-Simpson scale#Category 4|Category 4-equivalent]] typhoon, showing signs of rapid intensification over the last 12 hours. Typhoon Kammuri (Tisoy) then made landfall in Juban, Sorsogon at 11:00pm PST on December 2. ===Current storm information=== As of 06:00&nbsp;UTC December&nbsp;3, Typhoon Kammuri (Tisoy) is located near {{Coord|13.3|120.8|name=Kammuri|dim:5000km}}, also about {{convert|85|nmi|round=5}} south of [[Manila]], [[Philippines]].
