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.
Several portions of Luzon are under Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal (TCWS) No. 1 as Tropical Storm “Goring” continued to intensify while slowly moving south southwestwardly on Friday morning, Aug. 23, according to the state weather bureau.
The low pressure area east of Aparri, Cagayan has developed into a tropical depression with the domestic name “Doring”, while the southwest monsoon or habagat will continue to affect Southern Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao, the state weather bureau said Thursday, Aug. 24.
