New low pressure area named Mina might come in Sunday

Typhoon Kabayan moves up, Tropical Depression Lando in Ilocos Sur

PAGASA Track as of 2 a.m., 01 August 2011

MANILA, Philippines—“Expect another rainy and cloudy week as another low pressure area is sighted in the Pacific on Wednesday, August 3. We call it Mina. If there are no changes, Mina could turn into a tropical depression and might enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility by Sunday, August 7.” Department of Science and Technology (DOST) Usec. Graciano Yumul told “In Desk Corner” on 990 AM Radyo Inquirer at 6:30 a.m. Monday.

Interviewed by co-anchors Willy Matawaran and Louie Garcia of “In Desk Corner”, Usec. Yumul said Mina might enter through the Bicol Region, which is still yet to recover from damage wrought by Typhoons Kabayan and Juaning.

Usec Yumul gave this warning as Typhoon Kabayan leaves through West Philippine Sea while Tropical Depression Lando was estimated at 280 km West of Sinait, Ilocos Sur with maximum winds of 45 kph near the center. It is forecast to move North Northwest slowly, according to the latest bulletin (5 .m. Monday) from the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Service Administration (Pagasa).

Pagasa also warned that “the western sections of Luzon and Visayas will experience monsoon rains which may trigger flash floods and landslides.”

Western section of Luzon includes the National Capital Region.
Pagasa added: “The rest of Luzon and Visayas will have mostly cloudy skies with scattered rainshowers and thunderstorms. Mindanao will be partly cloudy to at times cloudy with isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms.

“Moderate to strong winds blowing from the Southwest to west will prevail over Northern Luzon and coming from the Southwest over the rest of the country. The coastal waters throughout the archipelago will be moderate to rough.”

    Hello PAGASA,
    Aren’t you quite confusing the public here? Weather disturbances named Lando and Mina already came to the Philippines back in November 2007. Is recycling names of typhoons allowed? I’ve been browsing through sattelite images in the web and I cannot find where this new Mina is. Please give more details because you are scaring us here in Bicol.

      Tropical cyclone names are always recycled, except in cases where the cyclone has gained notariety as a particularly destructive storm. And, this “MINA” is NOT out there, which is why you could not find it. PAGASA is “wishcasting” so they can have MORE egg on their faces.

        Is PAGASA then becoming overly defensive to the point of dishonesty because of the flak is is getting? Inevitably, a weather system to be called Mina will come, but announcing its presence when it is not in the horizon yet is not scientific, to say the least. Clairvoyance? BTW, the 2007 Mina killed 19 people, 8 of then in Bicol, so it was not a so so weather disturbance.

    mukhang pagasa is covering its _ss
    by announcing
    even just a low pressure area

    sec montejo
    may i suggest that pagasa
    adopt an extensive sms-based
    rain gauge reporting system
    that was made by pilipino engineers
    covering the whole country
    specially in watershed valley areas
    also for flood warnings

    This is about a incorrect as anything I’ve witnessed here. The only current LPA’s are Typhoon MUIFA (KABAYAN) 1,000km to our east, 97W (pre-LANDO), which is slowly deteriorating just west of Ilocos, and LPA 98W, located at 22.0N, 172.2E, or about 6,000km to the ENE of the Philippines. There is no LPA that will become Mina that they can see right now. PAGASA will never gain the public’s trust with “wishcasting”. It is almost laughable, except people actually believe it.

    What happened here again, why was my comment on PAGASA not posted…what was wrong with it? 

    “I really dont understand some people here .When Pagasa makes a late forecast you are angry, when it makes an advance one your also angry. Preapring for a typhoon is not only the responsibility of PAGASA……”

    So what was wrong with that post moderator? Minsan may nagmumura at abstos di mo binabloc
