WHAT TO EXPECT?

PAGASA-WRF 24-Hour Rainfall Forecast shows large swath of Central and Southern Luzon including Metro Manila could see 100 millimeters of rain

 

TRACK AND INTENSITY: PAGASA forecast a landfall over Southern Quezon – Northern Aurora area at 5PM to 8PM PHST (09Z to 12Z.) An earlier landfall over Polillo Islands is not ruled out. Landfall intensity is forecast to be 185 to 205 kph (10-minute sustained.) After traversing Luzon overnight, it will emerge, still as a typhoon over the coast of Zambales or Pangasinan.

RAIN: On Sunday afternoon through Monday early morning, moderate to heavy rainfall is expected over Central and Southern Luzon including Metro Manila. And from Monday early morning through early afternoon, moderate to heavy rainfall is expected over western Luzon from Pangasinan to Mindoro Island including Metro Manila. With these conditions, flooding and rain-induced landslides are expected. Residents in low-lying areas, next to rivers, and mountains should observe extreme precautions on these hazards.

 

WINDS: Areas under Warning Signals 4 and 5 will experience typhoon-force winds enough to severely damage infrastructures. Meanwhile, areas under Signal 2 and 3 will experience gale-force winds enough to slightly damage homes. Strong winds may also be experienced in areas under signal 1.

COASTAL INUNDATION: With storm surge forecast to reach 3 meters (10 feet) and heavy rain over coastal areas of northern Quezon including the Polillo Islands and Aurora, the risk of coastal inundation is high to very high. Coastal inundation could also happen in the coastal areas of Central Luzon, rest of Quezon, Pangasinan, and Metro Manila.

naturally like your web-site however you have to take a look at the spelling on quite a few of your posts. Several of them are rife with spelling problems and I find it very bothersome to inform the reality on the other hand I’ll definitely come back again.
