Weather Today – September 11, 2017 | Tropical Cyclone outside PAR intensifies

The weather disturbance outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) has intensified into a Severe Tropical Storm.

At 3:00 AM, “Talim” (international name) was at 1,655 kilometers east of Luzon. It has maximum sustained winds of 90 kilometers per hour (kph), gustiness of 115 kph, moving west-northwest at 25 kph. It will be given the local name “Lannie” when it enters PAR today. If it maintains its current speed and direction, the Tropical Cyclone may hit Extreme Northern Luzon.

Apart from the tropical cyclone, a Low Pressure Area (LPA) is also being monitored. This will bring cloudy skies with light to moderate rains and thunderstorms in Metro Manila, MIMAROPA, CALABARZON, Bicol Region, Quezon, Aurora and Visayas. Partly cloudy to cloudy skies or fair weather condition will prevail in the rest of Luzon and Mindanao except for isolated rain showers.
