MANILA, Philippines – Though Tropical Storm Ester is on its way out of the Philippines, it continues to enhance the Southwest Monsoon, meaning more rains for Northern Luzon on Thursday, June 12.

State weather bureau PAGASA spotted Ester at 4 pm on June 11 690 kilometers east northeast of Basco, Batanes. The storm had strengthened packing maximum winds blowing at 65 kilometers per hour (kph) near the center.

It is expected to move east northeast at 22 kph and should be out of the country by Thursday morning, according to PAGASA’s 11 am Ester update.

The tropical storm is enhancing the Southwest Monsoon bringing moderate to heavy rains in Batanes, Calayan and Babuyan group of islands; Ilocos; Cordillera; and Central Luzon.

The rest of Luzon, including Metro Manila, will experience occasional rains.

It will also be a windy Independence Day for Luzon. These moderate to strong winds are likely to make coastal waters moderate to rough.

Meanwhile, the rest of the country is in for isolated rainshowers and thunderstorms brought by partly cloudy to cloudy skies.

Milder winds will blow through Visayas and Mindanao resulting in slight to moderate seas.
