'Amang' makes another landfall over Camarines Sur

Published Apr 12, 2023 09:37 am
Tropical depression Amang made another landfall in the town of Lagonoy in the province of Camarines Sur at 4 p.m., Wednesday, April 12, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said in its latest bulletin. So far, Amang has made landfall three times—in Panganiban, Catanduanes at 10 p.m., Tuesday, April 11; Presentacion, Camarines Sur at 1 p.m., Wednesday, April 12; and Lagonoy, Camarines Sur at 4 p.m., Wednesday, April 12. PAGASA said the tropical depression continues to move slowly northwestward while it maintained its maximum sustained winds of 45 kilometers per hour (kph) near the center and gusts of up to 55 kph. Amang is likely to be off the coast of Jose Panganiban, Camarines Norte in the next 12 hours; over the coastal waters of Panukulan, Quezon in the next 24 hours; and in the vicinity of Carranglan, Nueva Ecija in the next 36 hours. This satellite image from PAGASA shows the location of tropical depression Amang as of 4:20 p.m., Wednesday, April 12, 2023.

Strong winds, heavy rains persist

 Due to the continuous strong winds brought by Amang, tropical cyclone wind signal number 1 remains hoisted over Catanduanes, Sorsogon, Albay, Camarines Sur, Camarines Norte, Laguna, Aurora, Quezon including Polillo Islands, Rizal, Bulacan, and Nueva Ecija. “Areas under Wind Signal No. 1 may experience strong winds—strong breeze to near gale strength—associated with the tropical depression, which may cause minimal to minor impacts to life and property,” PAGASA warned. Amang may also bring heavy rains over Metro Manila, Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal, Quezon, Tarlac, Pampanga, Bulacan, Camarines Norte, Camarines Sur, and the southern part of Aurora until Saturday, April 15. “Under these conditions, isolated flash floods and rain-induced landslides are possible, especially in areas that are highly or very highly susceptible to these hazards as identified in hazard maps and in localities that experienced considerable amounts of rainfall for the past several days,” PAGASA said. The weather bureau is not ruling out a “considerable” change in the track forecast in its succeeding bulletins due to the weak and disorganized nature of the tropical depression. It added that Amang may weaken into a low pressure area on Wednesday evening or Thursday, April 13, due to the “combined effects of land interaction, dry air intrusion, and increasing vertical wind shear.”
