The weather system intensifies and accelerates putting more areas under storm signals

MANILA, Philippines – Tropical Depression Kabayan has intensified and slightly accelerated, said the Philippine weather bureau on Thursday evening, October 1.

Nineteen areas in Luzon have been placed under Public Storm Warning Signal No 1. 

The weather system was spotted 105 kilometers north northeast of Daet, Camarines Norte at 4 pm that day, said the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA).

It packed maximum sustained winds of 55 km/h near the center. Areas within its 200-km diameter may experience moderate to heavy rainfall.

The areas under Signal No 1 are as follows:

  • Southern Isabela
  • Ifugao
  • Mt. Province
  • Ilocos Sur
  • La Union
  • Benguet
  • Nueva Vizcaya
  • Nueva Ecija

  • Zambales
  • Tarlac
  • Pampanga
  • Bulacan
  • Catanduanes
  • Camarines Sur
  • Camarines Norte
  • Aurora
  • Northern Quezon including Polillo Island

The storm signal means that these areas will experience winds that could slightly damage houses made of light materials. Such winds may be felt within the next 36 hours.

PAGASA predicts that Kabayan will leave the Philippine Area of Responsibility by Saturday afternoon, October 3.

The next bulletin on Kabayan will be released at 11 pm. – Rappler.com
