MANILA, Philippines – The Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) has lowered all storm warning signals as of 5:00 am Saturday, as Tropical Storm “Butchoy” was tracked moving north northwest.
In its latest bulletin, Saturday, June 16, PAGASA said that Butchoy has maintained its strength and is now moving in a north northwestward direction. It has maximum winds of 110 kph near the center and gustiness of up to 140 kph.
Moving at 15 kph, Butchoy is expected to enhance the southwest monsoon which will bring rains over Luzon and Visayas, especially over the western section. This may trigger flashfloods and landslides, it warned.
Fishing boats and other small seacraft are advised not to venture out into the seaboards of Luzon, Visayas and Eastern Mindanao due to the big waves generated by the combined effects of Butchoy and the Southwest Monsoon.
Within the 450 km diameter of Butchoy, heavy rainfall can be expected.
The public and the disaster coordinating councils concerned are advised to take appropriate actions.
By Sunday morning, the tropical storm will be 420 northeast of Borongan, Eastern Samar. By Monday morning, it will be 430 km northeast of Casiguran, Aurora. And by Tuesday morning, it will be northeast of Basco, Batanes. – Rappler.com
