Another typhoon is expected to enter in the Philippine area
of responsibility on Sunday. According to weather bureau’s forecast, tropical
storm Neoguri is getting stronger as it turns into a typhoon.
In advisory, PAGASA announces that the said typhoon was estimated
at 1, 410 kilometers off Virac, Catanduanes as of 4:00 a, on Saturday. They did
not expect that the typhoon will have its landfall near the area.
Once the typhoon reaches the Philippine area, it will be
called as “Florita,” the sixth tropical cyclone to visit the country this year.
Meteorologist Eric Leister from Accuweather said that
Neoguri will continue to increase its intensity as it transition into a “strong
typhoon” and makes it way going to the open western Pacific.
He said in a report
that rapid strengthening is possible through Sunday into early next week as the
cyclone progresses through an area of very warm ocean waters and low wind
shear, and the inner core is well established.
He said the typhoon appears to be headed for Japan, while
Taiwan should remain alert.
Meanwhile, the Philippines might encounter flooding rainfall
in the west-central and northwest parts of the country, depending on the
storm's track, Accuweather said. The country should better be prepared ahead of
time to avoid bigger damage on property and life.
Neoguri is currently enhancing the southwest monsoon or habagat,
bringing light to moderate rains to the Visayas, Mimaropa region, the Bicol
region and some areas of Mindanao. Everyone is requested to stay away from
slope and river side in case flooding or increase of water level will occur.
Drainage system should be clear to avoid clogging.
The rest of the country including Metro Manila will have
fair weather on Saturday with partly cloudy to cloudy skies accompanied by
isolated rain showers and thunderstorms. Prepared your umbrella and other
raining materials.
