Weather Today – September 13, 2017 #MaringPH and #LanniePH to exit PAR

Two Tropical Cyclones are still being monitored within the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) –Tropical Storm “Maring” and Typhoon “Lannie”. The latest data from PAGASA shows that Maring was last located at 370 kilometers west of Iba, Zambales. It has slightly intensified with maximum winds of 85 kilometers per hour (kph) and gustiness of up to 105 kph. Moving west-northwest at 18 kph, it is expected to exit the PAR this late afternoon or evening.

The latter tropical cyclone was last spotted at 605 kilometers northeast of Basco, Batanes. Packing winds of 130 kph and gustiness of up to 160 kph, it is moving in a northwest direction at 18 kph. If it maintains speed and direction, it is also expected to exit the PAR within the day. This typhoon still has no effect to any part of the country.

As Maring moves farther away from the landmass, it may still dump rains in several areas in Luzon including MIMAROPA (Mindoro, Marinduque, Romblon and Palawan) and the provinces of Zambales, Bataan and Batangas. These areas will have cloudy skies with light to moderate rains and thunderstorms.

Meanwhile, Metro Manila and the remaining parts of the archipelago will experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with chances of rains due to localized thunderstorms. Compared to the situation yesterday, today’s weather is gradually improving.
