MANILA, Philippines – Typhoon Maysak retains its strength as it approaches the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR).

State weather bureau PAGASA spotted the storm 1,690 kilometers east of Surigao City, Surigao Del Norte at 4 pm on Tuesday, March 31.

It continued to pack winds of 175 kilometers per hour (km/h) near the center and gusts of up to 210 km/h, its wind speeds detected earlier that day at 11 am. It is moving west northwest at a speed of 20 km/h.

Maysak is expected to enter PAR by Wednesday evening (April 1) or Thursday morning (April 2), said PAGASA in its Tuesday evening bulletin. When it enters Philippine territory, it will be given the name “Chedeng.” 

Wednesday is likely to bring partly cloudy skies in Cagayan Valley, Cordillera and the Ilocos region due to a High Pressure Area.  

Isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms, meanwhile, are expected over Metro Manila and the rest of the archipelago. 

Winds all over the country will be light to moderate resulting in slight to moderate seas.
