The Temporary Crisis Centre of the Office of National Water Resources (ONWR) affirmed that Typhoon Mangkhut had weakened into a tropical storm at 63 kilometres northeast of the Chinese city of Nanning early Monday morning and would further downgrade into a depression and low-pressure cell, before moving to Yunnan on Tuesday.

Super Typhoon Mangkhut slammed into the northern Philippines on Saturday with violent winds and torrential rains, as authorities warned millions in its path of potentially heavy destruction.
