'Hanna' makes landfall in Taiwan; Signal No. 1 still up over Batanes, Babuyan Islands

Published Sep 3, 2023 09:52 am

At A Glance

  • Tropical cyclone wind signal number 1 remains hoisted over Batanes and Babuyan Islands as Hanna's strong winds continue to affect the extreme Northern Luzon.
  • The southwest monsoon or "habagat" enhanced by the typhoon may continue to bring occasional rains and gusty conditions over parts of Luzon and Western Visayas for the next three days.
  • Hanna may leave the country's area of responsibility by Sunday evening or Monday morning.

Typhoon Hanna (international name: Haikui) has made landfall over Taitung County, Taiwan on Sunday afternoon, Sept. 3, said the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA).

In its 5 p.m. bulletin, PAGASA said the center of the eye of typhoon Hanna was at 245 kilometers north-northwest of Itbayat, Batanes.

It has maintained its maximum sustained winds of 155 kilometers per hour (kph) near the center and gusts of up to 255 kph while moving west-northwestward at 20 kph.

Tropical cyclone wind signal number 1 remains hoisted over Batanes and Babuyan Islands as Hanna’s strong winds continue to affect the extreme Northern Luzon.

Enhanced ‘habagat’

PAGASA said Hanna may still bring moderate to heavy rains and gusty winds to Batanes and Babuyan Islands in the next 24 hours.

The southwest monsoon or “habagat” enhanced by typhoon Hanna may also continue to bring occasional rains and gusty conditions over parts of Luzon and Western Visayas for the next three days.

Occasional heavy to intense rains (100-200 millimeters) may persist in Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, La Union, Pangasinan, Abra, Benguet, Zambales, Bataan, and Occidental Mindoro, while moderate to heavy rains (50-100 millimeters) may prevail over Metro Manila, Apayao, Tarlac, Pampanga, Bulacan, Rizal, Cavite, and Batangas.

Western Visayas and the rest of Luzon may also experience moderate to, at times, heavy rains and thunderstorms.

“Under these conditions, flooding and rain-induced landslides are possible, especially in areas that are highly or very highly susceptible to these hazards,” PAGASA warned.

PAR exit

PAGASA said Hanna may continue to move west-northwestward while crossing southern Taiwan Sunday night, resulting in the weakening of the typhoon.

It may emerge over the Taiwan Strait and leave the Philippine area of responsibility (PAR) late Sunday evening or early morning on Monday, Sept. 3 or 4.

Outside of the PAR, Hanna may slow down, but the weakening trend is likely to continue after its landfall over Taiwan, PAGASA said.
