Pagasa weather specialist Daniel James Villamil said the tropical depression is affecting a large part of Eastern Visayas, which may feel Aghon’s impact for the next 24 hours before moving out to the Samar Sea. He added that Aghon may again make landfalls in the Bicol Peninsula area.
Pagasa’s latest data showed that Aghon’s trajectory was northwestward at 30 kilometers per hour (kph). The tropical depression was last spotted over the coastal waters of Calbayog City, Samar, packing maximum sustained winds of 55 kph near the center and gustiness of up to 85 kph.
