No tropical cyclone wind signal is raised over Metro Manila, but the state weather bureau warned that apart from Carina, the southwest monsoon, locally called habagat, is also expected to bring strong to gale-force gusts over the region.
Carina, the country’s third tropical cyclone in 2024, is expected to exit the Philippine area of responsibility on Wednesday or early Thursday morning.
