In its latest bulletin issued at 5 p.m., the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) tracked the tropical storm 305 kilometers (km) west of Sinait, Ilocos Sur.
PAGASA said "Dodong" is moving southeastward "slowly" with maximum sustained winds of 65 kilometers per hour (kph) and gustiness of up to 80 kph.
Enhances 'habagat'
Despite its exit, Tropical Storm Dodong will continue to strengthen the southwest monsoon or "habagat."
This, PAGASA said, will continue to bring occasional to frequent rains over the western portions of Luzon.
This may also lead to gusty weather conditions, especially in coastal and upland or mountainous areas exposed to winds.
Gale warning remains
PAGASA kept a gale warning signal hoisted over the northern and western seaboard of Luzon and Western Visayas due to enhanced southwest monsoon. (Sonny Daanoy)
