The agency said Noru was 1,760 kilometers east-northeast of Basco, Batanes, on Tuesday and well outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility.

The typhoon was packing maximum sustained winds of 170 kilometers per hour and gustiness of up to 210 kph.

The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration said cloudy skies and light to moderate rain and thunderstorms will prevail over the Ilocos, Cordillera, Zambales and Bataan.

Metro Manila and the rest of the country will experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms.
