MANILA, Philippines — The entire country will have generally fair weather despite the possibility that Typhoon Mindulle may enter the Philippine area of responsibility (PAR) by Tuesday evening or Wednesday morning.
The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said that Mindulle’s trough reaches Southern Luzon and Visayas.
“Sa ngayon, ‘yung trough o ‘yung outer circulation nito ‘yung nakakaapekto sa Southern Luzon maging sa Visayas at dahil diyan asahan pa rin na generally fair ang panahon sa buong bansa ngayong gabi pero malaki ang tiyansa ng mga pulo-pulong pag-ulan at ‘yung mga pamumuo ng thunderstorms,” weather specialist Joey Figuracion said on Pagasa’s 4 p.m. forecast.
(Currently, the trough or outer circulation of the typhoon is affecting Southern Luzon and Visayas. Expect generally fair weather over the entire country tonight but chances of isolated rains and thunderstorms may occur.)
Mindulle may also immediately leave PAR by Wednesday, Figuracion mentioned.
Despite no gale warning raised, Pagasa cautioned fisherfolk, especially those with small vessels, in northern and eastern Luzon.
“Wala tayong gale warning sa anumang bahagi ng ating kapuluan. Although, sa ating mga kababayan diyan sa silangan ng Luzon at baybaying dagat sa norte or sa Northern Luzon ay magiging katamtaman hanggang sa maalon ang mga karagatan diyan,” Figuracion shared.
(We have no gale warning in any part of the archipelago. Although, for our fisherfolk in the east of Luzon and Northern Luzon, waters will be moderate to rough.)
Coastal waters in the rest of the country will be slight to moderate, Pagasa said.
