Typhoon “Ineng” (international: name Goni) is expected to enter the Philippine area of responsibility (PAR) Tuesday afternoon and may make a direct hit on extreme northern Luzon by the weekend, the weather bureau said on Monday.

The country will feel Ineng’s effects beginning Wednesday, when the typhoon will bring monsoon rains over the Visayas, according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa).

Meteorologist Glaiza Esculiar said Ineng might make landfall in northern Luzon, which was battered by Typhoon “Hanna” (international name: Soudelor) two weeks ago.

“The possibility that it will make landfall in extreme northern Luzon is increasing, although there is still the slightly bigger chance it will not,” she said.

Should the typhoon hit land, this may be on Friday, she added.

After the Philippines, the typhoon will head for Taiwan or southeastern China on the weekend, Pagasa said.
