Typhoon Betty (Mawar), the Philippines’ second tropical cyclone for 2023, affected Northern Luzon in the final days of May. Even though the typhoon did not make landfall, it still brought heavy rain and strong winds. At its peak, Betty was a super typhoon.
Betty also enhanced the southwest monsoon or habagat, which caused rain and gusts in other parts of the Philippines.
