A potential super typhoon may enhance the southwest monsoon, or “habagat,” and bring rains over parts of the country next week, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said on Friday, July 3.
In its weekly weather outlook for July 3 to 10, PAGASA said the tropical cyclone, internationally named “Bavi,” may enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) by Tuesday evening, July 7, or Wednesday morning, July 8, when it will be assigned the local name “Inday.”
As of Friday, Bavi is classified as a typhoon and remains outside the PAR.
PAGASA said the easterlies will continue to prevail over most parts of the country from Friday until Tuesday, and bring partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms, particularly in the afternoon or evening.
Beginning Wednesday, the typhoon may bring rains and gusty winds over Cagayan Valley, Ilocos Norte, and Apayao.
Meanwhile, the enhanced habagat is expected to bring light to moderate, and at times heavy, rains over Palawan, Occidental Mindoro, Western Visayas, Negros Island Region, Zamboanga Peninsula, Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM), and Soccsksargen.
The rest of the country will continue to experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms.
By Friday, July 10, PAGASA said the typhoon may bring rains and gusty winds over Ilocos Region, Cordillera Administrative Region, and Cagayan Valley.
At the same time, monsoon rains may prevail over the western sections of Central Luzon and Southern Luzon, Western Visayas, Negros Island Region, Zamboanga Peninsula, BARMM, and Soccsksargen due to the enhanced habagat.
PAGASA advised the public to continue monitoring its official weather bulletins, as the track, intensity, and effects of the tropical cyclone may still change.
