Yes, that’s a real typhoon name.
“A typhoon with the international name, ‘Vongfong,’ is expected to enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) on Tues night, (Oct 7) or early Wed morning (Oct 8). It has maximum winds of 120 kilometers per hour (kph) and gustiness of up to 150 kph,” reports ANC.
The typhoon will called “Ompong” once it enters PAR.
The report noted: “The typhoon, which may enter PAR through Northern Luzon, is not expected to make landfall. Its forecast track also shows that it will be moving away from the country immediately, much like Typhoon ‘Neneng.'”
By “immediately,” the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) means it could be out of the country by Friday or Saturday.
