Severe tropical storm “Bising” has weakened into a tropical storm on Saturday, April 24, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said.
Based on the latest severe weather bulletin issued Saturday afternoon, the center of the tropical storm was spotted at 1,080 kilometers (km) east northeast of extreme Northern Luzon as of 4 p.m.
It had a maximum sustained winds of 85 kilometers per hour (kph) near the center and gustiness of up to 105 kph, while moving east southeastward at 15 kph.

In the next 24 hours, PAGASA said moderate to rough seas will be experienced over the northern and eastern seaboards of Northern Luzon due to the storm.
“Mariners of small sea crafts are advised not to venture out over these waters. Inexperienced mariners of these vessels should avoid navigating in these conditions,” the agency warned.
The state weather bureau said Bising is forecast to exit the Philippine area of responsibility (PAR) on Sunday, April 25, and will likely further weaken throughout the forecast period due to unfavorable atmospheric and oceanic conditions.
Based on the forecast track, Bising will likely be 1,620 km east of extreme Northern Luzon, outside PAR, by Sunday, and 2,735 km east northeast of extreme Northern Luzon by Monday, April 26.
It is 4 p.m. weather update, Metro Manila and the rest of the country may experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers due to localized thunderstorms in the next several hours.
