The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) on Saturday, July 19, lifted all tropical cyclone wind signals across the country as Severe Tropical Storm Crising (international name: Wipha) continued to move farther away from the Philippine landmass.
In its latest Tropical Cyclone Bulletin, PAGASA said Crising has maintained its strength while moving away from the country.
As of 4 p.m., "Crising" was located approximately 345 kilometers west of Itbayat, Batanes—outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR).
The storm had maximum sustained winds of 100 km/h near the center and gusts of up to 125 km/h. It was moving west-northwest at 20 km/h and is forecast to head toward southern China, possibly intensifying into a typhoon.

‘Habagat’ to bring strong winds, rough seas
While “Crising” is no longer directly affecting the country, PAGASA said its enhancement of the Southwest Monsoon (habagat) will continue to bring strong to gale-force winds and potentially hazardous sea conditions across large parts of the Philippines through Monday, July 21.
Affected areas include:
Saturday, July 19: Metro Manila, Ilocos Region, Central Luzon, CALABARZON, Bicol Region, MIMAROPA, Visayas, and parts of Northern Mindanao and Caraga.
Sunday, July 20: Expanded impact over Northern and Central Luzon, MIMAROPA, Bicol, Visayas, and parts of Mindanao.
Monday, July 21: Most of Luzon and the Visayas.
Gale warnings, risky sea travel
PAGASA said a Gale Warning remains in effect for the northern seaboards of Northern Luzon, including Batanes, the Babuyan Islands, and parts of Ilocos Norte.
Sea conditions in these areas may reach wave heights of up to 4.5 meters, posing a significant risk to sea travel.
Other coastal waters across Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao may also experience rough to very rough seas, with wave heights ranging from 2.0 to 4.0 meters.
PAGASA strongly advises mariners of small vessels, particularly motorbancas, to stay ashore until conditions improve.
‘Crising’ final advisory
PAGASA said its latest bulletin issued at 5 p.m. is the final tropical cyclone bulletin for Severe Tropical Storm Crising, unless it re-enters the PAR.
However, residents are urged to remain vigilant for updates on the continued effects of the Southwest Monsoon, including rainfall advisories and thunderstorm warnings from their local PAGASA Regional Services Divisions.
The weather bureau also called on disaster response teams and local governments to stay on high alert, especially in low-lying coastal areas and landslide-prone uplands.
