LPA moves closer to Gen. San; 20 domestic flights cancelled
(philstar.com) | Updated January 11, 2014 - 11:04am



Satellite image from PAGASA website.


MANILA, Philippines - The state-run weather bureau on Saturday said the low pressure area earlier spotted is now estimated to be at 680 kilometers east of General Santos City.

The bad weather brought about by the LPA prompted Cebu Pacific Air to cancel six domestic flights, the Philippine News Agency reported.

A northeast monsoon, meantime, is affecting Luzon.

"The regions of CARAGA and Davao will experience cloudy skies with moderate to heavy rainshowers and thunderstorms which may trigger flashfloods and landslides," the Philippine Atmospheric and Astronomical Services Administration said in its latest weather update.

Visayas and the rest of Mindanao, on the other hand, will have cloudy skies with light to moderate rainshowers and thunderstorms.

"Cagayan Valley and the province of Aurora will be cloudy with light rains. Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon will have partly cloudy to cloudy with isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms," PAGASA added.

Moderate to strong winds will prevail over the country and coastal waters will be moderate to rough.

Cancelled flights

The PNA, citing a report of the airport's Media Affairs Division, said the grounded flights were 5J-381/382 Manila-Cagayan de Oro City-Manila, which was supposed to depart at 4:40 a.m. and arrive back to Manila at 8:10 a.m.

Other flights that were called off are: 5J-781/782 and 5J-939/940 both having Manila-Ozamiz-Manila routes.

Also cancelled were Manila-Butuan-Manila flights and Manila-Tagbilaran-Manila flights of Cebu Pacific Air.

2014's first cyclone develops near Yolanda-hit Eastern Visayas

By Louis Bacani (philstar.com)
January 17, 2014

MANILA, Philippines - The low pressure area (LPA) that has brought rains in the Visayas and Mindanao has intensified into Tropical Depression "Agaton," the state weather bureau said before Friday noon.

The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said Agaton was spotted at 260 kilometers southeast of Guiuan, Eastern Samar or 130 kilometers northeast of Hinatuan, Surigao del Sur.

Agaton is packed with maximum winds of 55 kilometers per hour near the center and is projected to move southwest at five kilometers per hour.

PAGASA has raised public storm warning signal no. 1 over Surigao del Norte including Siargao Island, Surigao del Sur, Dinagat Province, Agusan del Norte, Agusan del Sur, Davao Oriental and Compostella Valley.

The agency said winds of 30 to 60 kilometers per hour is expected in at least 36 hours in these areas.

Moderate to heavy rainfall (five to 15 millimeters per hour) is also expected within the 300-kilometer of the first tropical depression to hit the country this year.

The weather bureau warned that Agaton will bring moderate to occasionally heavy rains and thunderstorms over the Eastern and Central Visayas.

Sea travel is risky over the seaboards of Luzon, Visayas and the Caraga region, PAGASA said.

Agaton is expected to be at 40 kilometers east of Hinatuan, Surigao del Sur tomorrow morning.

By Sunday morning, it will be at 13 kilometers northeast of Davao City and at 45 kilometers northwest of General Santos City by Monday morning.

'Basyang' intensifies, storm surge alert raised

ABS-CBNnews.com
01/31/2014, 8:09 PM



Storm warning signals up over 34 areas
Basyang to make landfall midnight

MANILA -- Tropical storm "Basyang" (international name Kajiki) intensified further on Friday afternoon, placing 34 areas under public storm warning signals, state weather bureau PAGASA said.

In a press briefing, weather forecaster Chris Perez said Basyang was packing maximum sustained winds of 85 kilometers per hour (kph) near the center and gusts of up to 100 kph as it continues to move towards the Southern Leyte-Surigao del Norte area.

Basyang was last spotted 201 kilometers east of Surigao City, Surigao del Norte at 4 p.m.

Public storm warning signal number 2 has been hoisted over 19 areas:

Iloilo,
Negros Oriental,
Negros Occidental,
Siquijor,
Guimaras,

Cebu,
Bohol,
Leyte,
Southern Leyte,
Eastern Samar,

Samar,
Biliran Island,
Camotes Island,
Camiguin,
Dinagat Province,

Surigao del Norte,
Siargao Island,
northern part of Surigao del Sur,
northern part of Agusan del Norte.

These areas should expect 61 to 100 kph winds in 24 hours, PAGASA said.

Meanwhile, 15 areas are under signal number 1:

Masbate,
Palawan,
Calamian Group of Islands,
Northern Samar,
Aklan,

Capiz,
Antique,
Misamis Oriental,
Misamis Occidental,
rest of Agusan del Norte,

rest of Surigao del Sur,
Agusan del Sur,
northern part of Bukidnon,
Lanao del Norte,
Zamboanga del Norte.

These areas should expect 30 to 60 kph winds in at least 36 hours.

According to PAGASA, Basyang is forecast to move west at 33 kph.

At this rate, the storm is likely to make landfall over Southern Leyte and the northern tip of Surigao del Norte area around midnight.

Perez said Eastern Visayas, Central Visayas and Caraga regions will experience stormy weather tonight until Saturday.

According to PAGASA officer-in-charge Vicente Malano, the cyclone is not likely to weaken even after it hits land.

"Pag nag-landfall po siya ay hindi po siya gaanong hihina dahil hindi naman malaki yung babanggain niyang bundok sa Siargao Island... Puro katubigan din po yung dadaanan niya," he explained.

But he said the storm is not expected to intensify further due to the presence of the northeast monsoon (amihan).

Storm surge alert

Meanwhile, residents living in coastal areas under storm signal number 2 are alerted against storm surges around 1 to 2 meters high

Residents living in low-lying and mountainous areas under storm signals 1 and 2 should also prepare for possible flash floods and landslides.

"Huwag po tayong kumpiyansa dahil sa dala nitong hangin at pag-ulan. Mag-ingat po tayo," Malano said.

An estimated rainfall amount of 5 to 15 millimeters per hour (moderate to heavy) is expected within the tropical storm's 400-kilometer diameter.

Fishing boats and other small sea craft are advised against venturing out into the eastern seaboards of Central and Southern Luzon due to the surge of northeast monsoon.

PAGASA, meanwhile, said Basyang will not have a direct effect on Metro Manila.

Batten down the hatches..

Quote from: vrglguapo on January 31, 2014, 09:00:39 PMBatten down the hatches..

interesting.

Meaning:  Prepare for trouble.

Origin:

In his recent (September 2012) song Tempest, which recounts the story of the Titanic's sinking, Bob Dylan uses the lines:

    They battened down the hatches
    But the hatches wouldn't hold

This has caused a couple of correspondents to write to me asking what 'batten down' means. Many people may know what 'batten down the hatches' means, but some clearly don't, so here goes...

'Hatch' is one of those words with dozens of meanings in the dictionary. In this case we are looking at the 'opening in the deck of a ship' meaning. Ships' hatches, more formally called hatchways, were commonplace on sailing ships and were normally either open or covered with a wooden grating to allow for ventilation of the lower decks. When bad weather was imminent, the hatches were covered with tarpaulin and the covering was edged with wooden strips, known as battens, to prevent it from blowing off. Not surprisingly, sailors called this 'battening down'.

The above was explained, probably better than I just have, in the definitive record of history of nautical language, Admiral W H Smyth’s 1867 encyclopaedia The Sailor’s Word Book. He calls it 'battening of the hatches' but it is clearly the same expression:

    “Battens of the hatches: Long narrow laths serving by the help of nailing to confine the edges of the tarpaulins, and keep them close down to the sides of the hatchways in bad weather.”

The first citation of the explicit use of the phrase 'batten down the hatches' is from the 1883 Chambers Journal:

    "Batten down the hatches - quick, men."

for using the phrase, vrglguaps had confirmed once more that he's a true-blue nauti boy.

LPA spotted east of General Santos in Mindanaoâ€"Pagasa

By DJ Yap
Philippine Daily Inquirer
Tuesday, March 11th, 2014


PAGASA satpic as of 1:30 pm, Monday, March 11, 2014

MANILA, Philippines â€" A low pressure area over the Pacific Ocean is expected to bring bands of clouds and rains to Mindanao and parts of the Visayas, the state weather bureau said Tuesday.

As of early morning Tuesday, the weather disturbance was spotted some 530 kilometers east of General Santos City, according to an advisory from the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration.

Due to the low pressure area, the Caraga and Davao regions of Mindanao will experience cloudy skies with light to moderate rain showers and thunderstorms, the weather bureau said.

“By Wednesday, the estimated center of the LPA is expected to traverse over Southern Mindanao, hence its cloud bands will affect most areas of Mindanao and Visayas which will bring scattered rain showers and thunderstorms,” Pagasa said in its weekly weather outlook.

Meanwhile, the northeast monsoonâ€"cold winds from Siberaâ€"continues to affect Luzon and Visayas.

“Over Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon particularly the eastern section, partly cloudy to cloudy skies will be experienced with some isolated light rains. This weather scenario will persist until Thursday,” Pagasa said.

Moderate to strong winds from the northeast will prevail over Luzon, Visayas and Eastern Mindanao and coastal waters in these areas will be moderate to rough, Pagasa said.

The weather will gradually improve in the country’s southern parts during the weekend.

“On Friday and Saturday, gradual improvement of weather condition is expected over Visayas and Mindanao,” it said.

But the prevailing northeasterly surface wind flow will continue to spawn isolated
light rains over the eastern sections of Luzon, while Metro Manila and the rest of the country will see generally fair weather, Pagasa said.

Storm ‘Domeng’ enters PAR, may turn into typhoon
By Jeannette I. Andrade
Philippine Daily Inquirer
9:26 pm | Sunday, April 6th, 2014



Pagasa satellite image as of 6:00 pm, Tuesday, April 6, 2014


MANILA, Philippines â€" Tropical Storm “Domeng” (international name Peipah), which entered the Philippine area of responsibility Sunday night, is expected to bring rains over parts of the Visayas and Mindanao on Monday.

Forecasters of the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said that “Domeng” could still intensify into a typhoon before making landfall on Wednesday.

Weather forecaster Meno Mendoza said that as of 4 p.m. Sunday, “Domeng” was at 1,020 kilometers east of General Santos City, moving west-northwest at 20 kilometers per hour, with maximum sustained winds of 65 kilometers per hour and gustiness of up to 80 kilometers per hour.

Mendoza said that moderate to heavy rains (5 mm to 15 mm per hour) would fall within the 400-kilometer diameter of the storm.

According to the weather forecaster, should the tropical storm maintain its current speed and track, it will be at 570 kilometers east of Davao City by Monday afternoon and 180 kilometers east of Surigao City by Tuesday. On Wednesday afternoon, it is expected to be in the vicinity of Cebu City.

He said that they were expecting “Domeng” to make landfall on Wednesday somewhere in the Eastern Visayas.

“If it changes track, it could go higher and pass through Southern Luzon and even Metro Manila,” Mendoza pointed out.

He said that the weather bureau has not discounted the possibility that the storm could further gain strength while over water.

In its forecast for Monday, Pagasa said that Mindanao and the regions of the Cagayan Valley as well as the Eastern and Central Visayas would have cloudy skies with scattered rainshowers and thunderstorms while Metro Manila and the rest of the archipelago would be partly cloudy to cloudy with isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms mostly in the afternoon or evening.

Moderate to strong winds will prevail over the northern and eastern sections of the country where coastal waters will be moderate to rough. Elsewhere, winds will be light to moderate with slight to moderate seas. With a report from Frances Mangosing

Diri sa among lugar, Davao del Sur, maayo man ang panahon, medyo cloudy lang, dili apektado ni Doming, praise God nga mogawas sa Pilipinas nga walay mga kadaot.

Typhoon Florita enters PAR
http://www.sunstar.com.ph/
Sunday, July 6, 2014


MANILA -- Typhoon "Florita" (international name: Neoguri) has entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR), said the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) on Sunday.

Pagasa weather forecaster Connie Dadivas said that as of 6 a.m. Sunday, the eye of the typhoon -- the sixth tropical cyclone to affect the country this year -- was located based on all available data at 1,150 kilometers east of Tuguegarao City, Cagayan.

Florita was packing maximum winds of 165 kilometers per hour (kph) and gustiness of up to 200 kph. It was forecast to move west-northwest at 24 kph, but was not expected to hit landmass.

Dadivas said that with its speed, Florita is expected to be out of PAR by Tuesday. It will head toward Taiwan as it moves northward.

Florita, though, will enhance the southwest monsoon that will induce light to moderate rains over the Visayas, the Bicol region, Mimaropa (Mindoro, Marinduque, Romblon and Palawan), Caraga and Northern Mindanao.

Pagasa said that as the typhoon will enhance the "habagat," rough sea conditions can be expected and a gale warning may be issued later in the day.

For Sunday forecast, Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon will have cloudy skies with occasional rains while the rest of the country will be partly cloudy to cloudy with isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms.

Moderate to strong winds coming from the southwest will prevail over Southern Luzon, the Visayas and Mindanao and the coastal waters along these areas will be moderate to rough, the weather bureau said.

Light to moderate winds blowing from the southwest will prevail over the rest of the country with slight to moderate seas, it added. (PNA/Sunnex)

(UPDATED 11:48 a.m., July 16) At 11:00 a.m. today,  Wednesday, July 16, Typhoon "Glenda" passed over Subic Bay, at 25 kph northwest moving towards southern Zambales. It packed maximum winds of 140 kph, with a gustiness 170 kph.

The slightly weakened, "Glenda" is now moving toward the West Philippine Sea. It is expected to exit the Luzon landmass via Zambales by Wednesday noon.

By Thursday morning, July 17, "Glenda" will be outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR).

State of calamity

Camarines Sur and Albay are now under a state of calamity after taking the brunt of 'Glenda.'

Albay was the first to feel the wrath of Glenda as strong winds began battering the province, Tuesday afternoon.

Office of Civil Defense Regional Director Bernardo Alejandro says Albay suffered moderate damage and that they have yet to receive any report of casualties and injuries. Alejandro also says all roads in the province remain passable and most parts are flood free.

Suspensions caused by storm

Work has been suspended for all government offices in the Metro, except agencies involved in the delivery of basic and health services, response to disasters, and security.

MRT and LRT operations have also been suspended.

Trading at the Philippine Stock Exchange has also been suspended, while dozens of international and domestic flights have been cancelled.

As of 11:45 a.m. on Wednesday, July 16, at least five deaths have been reported due to the typhoon.

Hagupit now a 'super typhoon;' areas in path likely to be under Signal No. 4

Projected track of typhoon 'Hagupit' (Ruby) from PAGASA


MANILA, Philippines -- (UPDATE 3 - 11:30 a.m.) “Hagupit” (local name: “Ruby”) has been officially declared a "super typhoon" after it slowed down slightly early Friday morning but gained more strength as it continued to move west-northwest towards Eastern Visayas.

Interior Secretary Manuel Roxas II, at a briefing at the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council Friday morning, said Hagupit had become a "super typhoon" and areas directly in its path, or within a 30-kilometer radius of its central line, are likely to be placed under Public Storm Warning Signal No. 4, the highest level, once the storm makes landfall.

Signal No. 4 is raised in areas where winds of more than 185 kilometers per hour and upwards are expected.

Hagupit was last tracked 435 kilometers east of Borongan, Eastern Samar moving west-northwest at 13 kph with winds of 215 kph gusting up to 250 kph.

PAGASA warned of storm surges of 4-5 meters, aside from strong winds and heavy to intense rainfall of 7.5-20 millimeters per hour in the area where Hagupit is expected to make landfall Saturday afternoon or evening, in the Eastern Samar-Northern Samar area.

Roxas cautioned against underestimating Hagupit's strength, which he said is "close" to the 240-300 kph of last year's super typhoon "Yolanda," and urged people to be "serious" in their preparations and heed orders to evacuate to safer ground.

Currently, 34 have been placed under Public Storm Warning Signals 1 and 2.

Roxas said the latest projections forecast Hagupit making landfall over the northern part of Samar Island Saturday evening and then cutting through Eastern Visayas and other central Philippine regions.

PAGASA said areas within the 700-km diameter of Hagupit can expect heavy to intense rains of 7.5-20 mm per hour.
