Compared to the previous days, Typhoon “Ineng” has decelerated further, now moving west-northwest at 7 kilometers per hour. At 1:00PM today, it was last spotted at 110 kilometers east of Calayan, Cagayan. Ineng maintains stregth with maximum sustained winds of 170 kilometer per hour and gustiness of up to 205 kilometers per hour.

At the current velocity, PAGASA Weather Forecaster Aldczar Aurelio says it will move closer or may make landfall over any part of Batanes Group of Islands this evening. If it maintains speed and direction, it is expected to exit the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) by Monday morning.

However, as the ridge of the high pressure area directs its course, changes may still occur. PAGASA advises the public that whether it would hit the land or not, it can directly affect the areas which are under the public storm warning signal. These include the following:

PAGASA advises the residents of the above mentioned areas to be alert against possible flash flood, landslide and storm surge mostly over the areas under signal number 3 and 2.

Stormy weather will prevail over Batanes, Ilocos Norte, Isabela, Kalinga, Apayao, Abra, Cagayan including Calayan and Babuyan Group of Islands. The rest of Cordillera and the provinces of La Union and Ilocos Sur will experience rains with gusty winds.

Meanwhile due to the enhanced habagat, monsoon rains will be dumped over Pangasinan, Zambales, Pampanga and Bataan. Occasional rains are expected over Metro Manila, Western Visayas and the rest of Luzon. The rest of Visayas will have cloudy skies with light to moderate rains and isolated thunderstorms while Mindanao will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with chances of isolated thunderstorms.
