Rosita was last eyed 760 kilometers east of Aparri, Cagayan, or 750 kilometers east of Tuguegarao City, Cagayan, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) reported on Sunday afternoon.

The typhoon has maximum sustained winds of up to 200 km per hour near the center, and gustiness of up to 245 kph, heading west at 20 kph.
