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.

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.

MANILA, Philippines – More areas in Visayas were placed under storm signals as Tropical Depression “Basyang” continued to move towards Leyte-Caraga area, the state weather bureau said on Friday.

Linkback: https://tubagbohol.mikeligalig.com/index.php?topic=23019.0

Residents living in low lying and mountainous areas under Signal No.1 were alerted against possible flashfloods and landslides.

Basyang intensified into a tropical depression before it entered the Philippine area of responsibility. It now packed maximum sustained winds of 55 kph  near the center and moved west at 30 kph.

It was last located 768 kilometers east northeast of Hinatuan, Surigao del Sur. It was forecast to make landfall over Surigao provinces late Friday or early Saturday.

Moderate to heavy rains were forecast due to the weather disturbance.

Basyang was expected to exit PAR on Monday.

Meanwhile, fishing boats and other small seacraft were advised not to venture out into the eastern seaboards of Central and Southern Luzon and of Visayas due to Basyang and the prevailing northeast monsoon.

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).

Batten down the hatches..

Linkback: https://tubagbohol.mikeligalig.com/index.php?topic=23019.0

'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'.

“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 monsoon—cold winds from Sibera—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.
