Typhoon “Inday” moved faster as it is about to exit the country’s area of responsibility, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said on Monday afternoon, Sept. 12.

In its 5 p.m. bulletin, PAGASA said Inday was moving north-northwest at 15 kilometers per hour (kph), while packing maximum sustained winds of 140 kph near the center and gustiness of up to 170 kph.

The typhoon was last spotted 500 kilometers (km) north-northeast of Itbayat, Batanes.

Although it is expected to leave the country’s area of responsibility, Inday may still bring wind gusts over extreme Northern Luzon due to the “channeling of the typhoon circulation in the Luzon Strait.”

In the next 24 hours, Inday may also bring moderate to rough seas over the eastern and northern seaboards of Northern Luzon.

“These conditions may be risky for those using small seacrafts. Mariners are advised to take precautionary measures when venturing out to sea and, if possible, avoid navigating these conditions,” PAGASA said.

Meanwhile, PAGASA is also monitoring another tropical cyclone outside the Philippine area of responsibility as of Monday afternoon.

The tropical depression was spotted 1,775 km east of Northern Luzon.

It was moving northwestward at 10 kph, while packing maximum sustained winds of 45 kph and gustiness of up to 55 kph.

In the next 24 hours, PAGASA said the entire archipelago will be partly cloudy to cloudy with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms due to the southwest monsoon or “habagat” and localized thunderstorms.
