Weather Today – October 19, 2015 | #LANDOPH rages in Aurora and slowly moves across Northern Luzon

Lando (Koppu) remains under Typhoon category while battering Northern Luzon. After making landfall in Casiguran, Aurora last Saturday, Lando is now in the vicinity of Santiago, Ilocos Sur. Because of the mountainous terrain of Cordillera, it has slightly weakened with maximum sustained winds of 120 kph, and gustiness of 150 kph, moving north-northeast at 5 kph.

PAGASA Weather Forecaster Chris Perez said that the High Pressure Area extending over the West Philippine Sea and Eastern Pacific is preventing Lando from moving northward. Typhoon Champi, which is outside the Philippine boundary, has greatly affected its movement. The current forecast track shows that Lando will exit the Philippine landmass on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, due to bad weather, venturing out into the sea is not allowed under areas with Public Storm Warning Signals and gale warnings.
