“Juaning’’ to bring rains to southern Luzon, eastern Visayas
MANILA, Philippines–Tropical depression Juaning will be bringing wet days to Southern Luzon and Eastern Visayas, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said Monday.
The low pressure area east of the Visayas developed into tropical depression Juaning Monday morning, but it was not strong enough to raise any storm signals in the country.
The weather bureau said the rains from Juaning would be felt over Southern Luzon and Eastern Visayas, and would become widespread over the Bicol and Samar areas. This could trigger flashfloods and landslides, and residents in the area are advised to take precaution.
The rest of the country would have mostly cloudy skies with rainshowers and thunderstorms, Pagasa added.
As of 10 a.m. Monday, Juaning was 350 kilometers east Southeast of Virac, Catanduanes, and was moving northeast at 15 kilometers per hour. It had maximum winds of 55 kilometers per hour near the center.
By Tuesday morning, it is expected to be north northeast of Virac, Catanduanes or 320 kilometers east southeast of Casiguran, Aurora.
By Wednesday, it is forecast to be 90 kilometers north of Casiguran or 140 kilometers southeast of Aparri, Cagayan and by Thursday, it would be farther from the country at 200 kilometers northwest of Aparri, Cagayan.
