PAGASA Weather Update
A few days ago, a low-pressure area turned into a tropical cyclone, brought rains over the Philippines. Now that it entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility, nonstop rains over the metro and provinces nearby seem not to stop due to Typhoon Hanna. In addition, the enhanced southwest monsoon, better known as Habagat, also strengthens the inclement weather in other parts of the Philippines.
According to the latest issued report from PAGASA on September 3, Typhoon Hanna was 245 kilometers to the northwest of Itbayat, Batanes. Earlier, it also made a landfall over Taitung in Taiwan.
As Typhoon Hanna passes PAR and enhances habagat, moderate to heavy rainshowers should be expected over Metro Manila, Batangas, Bataan, Bulacan, Pampanga, Tarlac, Cavite, and Rizal within the next two hours.
- Hanna moves west-northwest at 20 km/h with maximum winds of 155 km/h near the center and gustiness up to 190 kph.
- The tropical cyclone is expected to leave PAR late Sunday (September 3) or early Monday, September 4, according to PAGASA.
