Weather Today – July 28, 2017 | “Gorio” intensifies

“Gorio” was last spotted at 545 km east-northeast of Tuguegarao City with maximum sustained winds of up to 105 kph and gustiness of up to 130 kph. Moving northwest at 15 kph, it is expected to exit the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) by Sunday evening if it maintains speed and direction.

The tropical storm continues to enhance the Southwest Monsoon or Hanging Habagat. Rains with gusty winds will be experienced in Batanes Group of Islands. Monsoon rains will prevail over Metro Manila and the regions of Ilocos, Cordillera, Central Luzon, CALABARZON (Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal and Quezon) and MIMAROPA (Mindoro, Marinduque, Romblon and Palawan).

Meanwhile, light to moderate rains and thunderstorms are possible in Visayas and the rest of Luzon. Mindanao will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms.

Habagat poured heavy rains yesterday, resulting to flooded roads, cancelled flights and class suspensions. Let us look back at the impacts of the monsoon rains in different parts of Metro Manila. Here are videos sent by Panahon TV Citizen Correspondents:
