At a Glance Slow-moving Depression Kai-Tak has brought deadly flooding and landslides to the Philippines.

Kai-Tak is beginning to move away from the Philippines, but locally heavy rain may continue.

More than 30 people in the Philippines have been killed and others are missing after Tropical Storm, now downgraded to a tropical depression, Kai-Tak drenched the country with heavy rainfall that caused flooding and landslides.

Kai-Tak, known as Urduja in the Philippines, has been crawling slowly westward over the Philippines since late last week. Eastern portions of Visayas, including Samar, have received more than 40 inches of rainfall since Dec. 13.

Sofronio Dacillo Jr., a disaster-response officer, said 26 villagers died and 23 others were missing mostly due to landslides in different areas in the island province of Biliran.

At least seven other people were killed in landslides and floods in four central areas due to Kai-Tak.

The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council said it was trying to confirm the reported deaths caused by the storm, which forced more than 89,000 people to flee to emergency shelters. Thousands of Christmas holiday travelers were stranded due to canceled inter-island ferries and flights.

President Rodrigo Duterte said he would visit the storm-hit region.

The now weakened system will continue to move slowly westward away from the Philippines early this week. Locally heavy rain will be possible given the tropical moisture in place. Moderate to heavy rainfall will be possible over the next week in parts of southern Vietnam, southern Thailand and western Malaysia.

In addition to Kai-Tak, a separate area of low pressure, dubbed Invest 97W, is located more than 500 miles north of Papua New Guinea. While, at this time, 97W is expected to remain disorganized as it approaches the Philippines toward the middle to end of the week, additional moisture could reach the Philippines. Steady organization and strengthening are possible, and 97W has a medium chance of becoming a tropical depression.
