The weather disturbance currently being monitored by local weather experts is expected to maintain its strength as super typhoon once it enters the country’s area of responsibility either by Tuesday morning or Wednesday morning.

And once super typhoon Bavi is already inside the Philippine territory, it will be named Inday and is expected to trigger the raising of signal alert level to either Storm Signal Number 2 or 3.

In the 11 a.m. advisory, the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said the eye of the typhoon was spotted at 2,215 kilometers east of southeastern Luzon and still packing 205 kilometer per hour winds near the center and up to 250 kph of gustiness.

The weather disturbance is moving at 20 kilometers per hour towards Ryukyu Islands.

Weather experts said Bavi is expected to weaken as it moves near extreme northern Luzon while approaching the east of Taiwan.

“Despite the low chance of landfall over any parts of Luzon, considering the intensity and the extent of the strong winds from the center of Super Typhoon BAVI, wind signals may be raised over the northern and eastern portions of Northern Luzon,” the Pagasa advisory read.

“The highest Wind Signal throughout the passage is likely Signal No. 2 or 3. Due to the uncertainty in terms of radius of strong winds, the possibility of raising wind signals over the eastern portions of Southern Luzon and Visayas is not ruled out,” it added.

Experts said the effects of the weather disturbance will likely be felt in the country starting Tuesday or Wednesday due to the southwest monsoon, or habagat.

And that southwest monsoon will work together with the “Bavi” to bring heavy rains to the northern and western portions of the country

“Considering these developments, the public and disaster risk reduction and management offices concerned are advised to continue monitoring for updates related to this tropical cyclone,” Pagasa said.
