PAGASA lowers wind signals as 'Aghon' moves farther away

The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) on Monday afternoon, May 27 lowered the tropical cyclone wind signals as Typhoon “Aghon” (international name: Ewiniar) moved farther away from the country’s landmass.
In the 5 p.m. tropical cyclone bulletin, only Signal No. 1 remains raised over the eastern portion of Quirino, the southern portion of Nueva Vizcaya, the eastern portion of Isabela, Aurora, the northern portion of Quezon including Polillo Islands, and the northwestern portion of Camarines Norte including Calaguas Islands.
“Minimal to minor impacts from strong winds are possible within any of the areas under Wind Signal No. 1,” PAGASA said.
It also said that the typhoon-enhanced southwesterly wind flow will bring moderate to heavy rains over Western Visayas and portions of MIMAROPA (Oriental Mindoro, Occidental Mindoro, Marinduque, Romblon, Palawan) in the next two days.
Typhoon Aghon was last located 155 kilometers east of Casiguran, Aurora and maintained its maximum sustained winds of 140 kilometers per hour (kph) near the center and gusts of up to 170 kph.
It is expected to move at a northeastward direction over the Philippine Sea until it leaves the country’s area of responsibility on Wednesday afternoon or evening, May 29.
