Tropical Depression 93W (JOLINA) moving into the South China Sea, just west of Ilocos Sur. Strong Southwest (SW) Monsoon continues to bring widespread-scattered rains and winds across most of the Philippines.
Forecast Outlook: 93W is expected to continue moving WNW across the South China Sea this morning and shall exit the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) later this afternoon. Effects: 93W's broad circulation is now off the South China Sea, with its fringes just affecting Western Luzon. Rainfall accumulations of up to 300-400 mm can be expected along its circulation. Residents in low-lying areas & steep slopes must remain alert & seek evacuation for possible life-threatening flash floods, mudslides & landslides due to the anticipated heavy rains brought about by this system. Precautionary measures must be initiated if necessary.
Current SW Monsoon Intensity: STRONG >> Moderate to strong southwesterly winds not in excess of 65 kph with occasional rains, and passing squalls can be expected along the following affected areas: VISAYAS, PALAWAN, MINDORO, METRO MANILA, SOUTHERN & WESTERN LUZON, AND PARTS OF BICOL REGION. Possible landslides, mudslides, mudflows (lahars) and life-threatening flash floods are likely to occur along steep mountain/volcanic slopes, river banks, low-lying & flood-prone areas of the affected areas.
