Southwest monsoon or "habagat" enhanced by Typhoon “Hanna” will bring moderate to heavy rainfall over Metro Manila, the western portion of Luzon and Antique in the next three days, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said Sunday.
Severe Tropical Storm “Hanna” has intensified into a typhoon, while the enhanced southwest monsoon or habagat will continue to bring rains over portions of the country in the next three days, the state weather bureau said Friday, Sept. 1.
Severe Tropical Storm Hanna (international name Haikui), along with two other tropical cyclones outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR), is enhancing the southwest monsoon (habagat) that causes rain showers and gusty winds over parts of the country, the weather bureau said Thursday.
Super Typhoon “Goring” has maintained its strength while moving over the sea off Batanes and will “likely remain as a super typhoon until Friday,” according to the latest bulletin of PAGASA.
Typhoon “Goring” continued to weaken and may make a close approach to Batanes with a landfall scenario still not ruled out, the state weather bureau said Monday, Aug. 28.
The state weather bureau has raised Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal (TCWS) No. 3 over portions of Cagayan and Isabela as Typhoon “Goring” steadily intensifies moving south southwestwardly over east of Babuyan Island waters on Saturday morning, Aug. 26.
