Typhoon “Lan” (foremerly #PaoloPH) has exited the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) but a new weather disturbance outside PAR is being monitored by PAGASA.
According to PAGASA weather forecaster Samuel Duran, the Low Pressure Area was spotted at 2,400 km east of Mindanao and may intensify into a Tropical Depression. As of now, it has a slim chance of entering PAR. Still, all are advised to monitor updates.
As the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ICTZ) continues to affect Southern Luzon and VIsayas, cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms will be experienced in the Bicol Region, MIMAROPA, Western Visayas, Zamboanga Peninsula, and Quezon Province. Meanwhile, Metro Manila and the rest of the country will experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms mostly in the afternoon or evening.
Although Typhoon Paolo is in the vicinity of Southern Japan, its winds caused rough to very rough sea conditions in some seaboards of Northern Luzon. Sea travel is risky for fishing boats and other small seacraft as wave may reach up to 3.4 to 4.5 meters.
Earlier this morning, Typhoon “Paolo” exited the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) and was last located at 1,310 kilometers (km) east-northeast of Basco, Batanes. Despite the absence of a typhoon or any weather disturbance, rainy weather is still expected in several parts of Luzon and Visayas due to the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ).
The ITCZ is the meeting point of winds coming from the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. When winds converge, convective clouds are formed and may bring rains.
Cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms are expected in the Bicol Region, Eastern Visayas and Palawan. Metro Manila and the rest of the country will experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms mostly in the afternoon or evening.
Meanwhile, gale warning is hoisted in the northern seaboards of Luzon, eastern seaboards of Central and Southern Luzon, and Visayas. These areas will have rough to very rough sea condition, making sea travel risky for fishing boats and other small seacraft.
On the other hand, a new Low Pressure Area (LPA) was spotted outside the PAR. According to PAGASA Weather Forecaster Robert “Obet” Badrina, this LPA is still too far to affect the country. However, changes may still occur and the public is advised to monitor updates.
Typhoon “Paolo” has intensified as it continues to accelerate away from the country. At 10:00 AM today, the eye of the Typhoon was located at 1,000 km east of Basco, Batanes. Now with maximum sustained winds of 180 kph near the center and gustiness of up to 220 kp, it is expected to move north-northeast at 22 kph.
If it maintains speed and direction, Paolo is expected to exit the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) tonight or early morning tomorrow. Cloudy skies with scattered light to moderate and at times heavy rain showers will prevail over Western Visayas, Central Visayas, Zamboanga Peninsula, ARMM, Northern Mindanao, Caraga and the provinces of Palawan and Mindoro. The remaining parts of the archipelago will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms.
Gale warning is up in the seaboards of Northern Luzon, eastern seaboard of Central Luzon and the seaboards of Southern Luzon. Rough to very rough sea condition is also expected over the eastern and western seaboards of Visayas and the eastern seaboard of Mindanao. Sea travel in the said areas remains risky for fishing boats and other small seacraft while larger sea vessels are alerted against big waves.
Typhoon “Paolo”, the second Tropical Cyclone for the month of October, was last located at 895 kilometers (km) east of Daet, Camarines Norte. It has maintained its maximum winds of 120 kilometers per hour (kph) and gustiness of up to 145 kph. Moving north-northwest at 15 kph, the possibility for it to hit the landmass remains slim. PAGASA said if it maintains current speed and direction, it may exit the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) on Sunday.
Meanwhile, a Low Pressure Area (LPA) was last spotted at 185 km west of Puerto Princesa City, Palawan. In an interview with Panahon TV, PAGASA Weather Forecaster Robert “Obet” Badrina said this LPA may develop into a Tropical Cyclone. Once it intensifies into a Tropical Depression, it may combine with the clouds or rain bands of Typhoon Paolo.
The outer rain bands of the typhoon will continue to drench Visayas, Zamboanga Peninsula and ARMM. Scattered rains and thunderstorms are also possible in Bicol Region, the rest of Mindanao, provinces of Mindoro, Marinduque and Romblon.
The LPA will also dump rains in the province of Palawan. Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon will experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms.
Due to the strong to gale force winds associated with the typhoon and LPA, rough to very rough sea condition is expected in the eastern seaboard of Visayas and Mindanao, as well as the eastern and western seaboards of Southern Luzon. These include areas of Eastern Samar; the eastern sections of Northern Samar, Dinagat Islands, Surigao del Sur, Davao Oriental, Davao Occidental, Camarines provinces, Catanduanes; and the eastern coasts of Albay, Sorsogon and Palawan. Wave height may reach up to 3.4 to 4.5 meters, making sea travel risky for fishing boats and other small seacraft
The Tropical Storm with international name Lan entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) last night and was given the local name, Paolo, the country’ 16th Tropical Cyclone this 2017.
At 11:00 AM today, the cyclone has intensified into a severe tropical storm and was at 765 kilometers east of Guiuan, Eastern Samar. It has maximum sustained winds of 90 kilometers per hour (kph) near the center and gustiness of up to 115 kph. The storm is forecast to move west-northwest at 7 kph.
In an interview, PAGASA Weather Forecaster Gener Quitlong said that Paolo may recurve and miss the landmass due to a current interaction with a Low Pressure Area (LPA) located west of Palawan. But Paolo may also intensify into a typhoon before exiting PAR by Sunday and head towards Japan.
No tropical cyclone warning signal was issued but the outer rainbands of Paolo may bring scattered light to moderate with possible occasional heavy rains over Bicol Region, Visayas and Mindanao. Meanwhile, the LPA will bring scattered light to moderate with possible occasional heavy rains over Palawan. In the rest of Luzon, including Metro Manila, partly cloudy to cloudy skies will prevail, apart from isolated rain showers mostly in the afternoon or evening.
Tropical Storm Odette has exited the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) but a new weather disturbance threatens the country.
In an interview with PAGASA Weather Forecaster Gener Quitlong, he said that the tropical depression was spotted at 1,055 kilometers east of Mindanao. It has maximum winds of 55 kilometers per hour (kph), gustiness of 65 kph, moving west-northwest at 15 kph. According to Quitlong, the tropical depression may intensify into a tropical storm and enter PAR this Monday.
In the next hours, Mindanao, Western Visayas, and Palawan will have cloudy skies with light to moderate rains and thunderstorms. In the rest of the country including Metro Manila, partly cloudy to cloudy skies will prevail apart from isolated rain showers mostly in the afternoon or evening. This weather condition is caused by Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) that affects Southern Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.
Gale warning is up in the northern seaboard he western seaboard of Southern Luzon, and the northern and western seaboard of Northern Luzon, where rough to very rough sea condition is expected. Sea travel is risky for fishing boats and other small seacraft as wave height may reach up to 3.4 to 4.5 meters.
Today’s Philippine Weather Forecast: October 11, 2017
The Low Pressure Area (LPA) within the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) has dissipated but a new weather disturbance has developed within the country’s premises.
At 3:00 AM, the LPA was estimated at 350 kilometers east of Casiguran, Aurora.
As an effect of this weather disturbance, Metro Manila, Central Luzon, the Cordillera Administrative Region, Cagayan Valley Region, and CALABARZON will experience light to moderate rains with thunderstorms. In the remaining parts of Luzon, down to Visayas and Mindanao, partly cloudy to cloudy skies will be experienced apart from isolated rain showers mostly in the afternoon or evening.
Meanwhile, due to gale force winds associated with the Northeast Monsoon winds, rough to very rough sea conditiosn will be experienced in the northern seaboards of Northern Luzon. Fishing boats and small seacraft are not advised to venture out in Batanes, Calayan, the Babuyan Group of Islands, and the northern coasts of Ilocos Norte and Cagayan.
The Low Pressure Area (LPA) will continue to dump rains areas of Luzon. At 3:00 AM, it was spotted in the vicinity of San Manuel, Isabela.
According to PAGASA weather forecaster Obet Badrina, although this weather disturbance will bring rains, it has a slim chance of developing into a Tropical Cyclone especially now that it has reached the landmass.
Due to the LPA, expect light to moderate rains with thunderstorms in Metro Manila, Central Luzon, CALABARZON, MIMAROPA and the Bicol region. The rest of the country will experience partly cloudy skies with isolated rains and thunderstorms.
The LPA can be formed anytime of the year. Get to know more about this weather disturbance through this video:
The Low Pressure Area (LPA) previously monitored west of Ilocos Sur has already developed into a Tropical Depression and was last located at 640 kilometers (km) west-northwest of Sinait, ilocos Sur. Packing winds of 45 kph and gustiness of up to 60 kph, it is expected to move west-northwest at 20 kph. Now that it is already outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR), it will no longer have an effect on any part of the country.
However, a new LPA is being monitored within Philippine premises and was spotted at 410 km east of Legazpi City, Albay. PAGASA Weather Forecaster Sheilla Reyes said though it may dissipate, the public is still advised to monitor changes and further development.
A gloomy Monday is expected in most parts of Luzon and Visayas due to the prevailing weather disturbance. Cloudy skies with moderate to occasionally heavy rains and thunderstorms will be experienced in the Bicol Region, CALABARZON (Cavite, Laguna, Rizal and Quezon) and the provinces of Mindoro, Marinduque and Romblon. Residents of the said areas are alerted against possible flash floods and landslides.
Metro Manila and the regions of Cordillera, Ilocos and Cagayan Valley will have cloudy skies with light to moderate rains and thunderstorms. the same weather condition is expected in the provinces of Palawan, Aurora, Dinagat Islands and Surigao del Norte.
Gale warning is up in the northern seaboard of Ilocos Norte and Northern Luzon, which includes Batanes, Calayan, and the Babuyan Group of Islands. Rough to very rough sea condition is expected in these areas where 3.4 to 4.5 meters . Fishing boats and other small seacraft are advised not to venture out into the sea while larger sea vessels are advised to be cautious against big waves.
