Typhoon Kammuri (Japanese: かんむり; Rōmaji: kanmuri^[a]), known in the Philippines as Typhoon Tisoy, was a powerful tropical cyclone. It made landfall in the Bicol Region of the Philippines. Kammuri developed into a low pressure system on November 23, 2019. By November 25, it was a tropical depression and it started to develop rainbands. As it developed into a Category 1-equivalent storm, Kammuri started heading towards the Philippines. Before landfall, Kammuri underwent rapid intensification and became a Category 4-equivalent. It made landfall on the Philippines near midnight on December 2, 2019.

Notes

↑ Although romanized as kanmuri, it is pronounced as [kã̠mːɯ̟ᵝɾʲi], like KAHM-mə-ree with a sustained sound. This justifies the typhoon name's spelling as Kammuri.
