HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND AREAS
Heavy Rainfall
• Typhoon INDAY is unlikely to directly bring heavy rains in the country throughout the forecast period.
Severe Winds
• The hoisting of Tropical Cyclone Wind Signals is unlikely throughout the forecast period.
• Gusty conditions reaching strong to gale-force strength may be experienced over Extreme Northern Luzon tomorrow through Wednesday due to the channeling of the typhoon circulation in the Luzon Strait.
HAZARDS AFFECTING COASTAL WATERS
• Under the influence of Typhoon INDAY, a Gale Warning remains effect for the seaboards of Batanes and Babuyan Islands. For more information, refer to Gale Warning #4 issued at 5:00 AM today.
• In the next 24 hours, INDAY may also bring moderate to rough seas over the eastern seaboard and the remaining northern seaboard of Northern Luzon (1.2 to 3.0 m). These conditions may be risky for those using small seacrafts. Mariners are advised to take precautionary measures when venturing out to sea and, if possible, avoid navigating these conditions.
TRACK AND INTENSITY OUTLOOK
• On the track forecast, Typhoon INDAY will move slowly northward, either pass close or make landfall in the vicinity of Yaeyama Islands this morning or afternoon, and exit the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) tonight or tomorrow early morning. Outside the PAR region, INDAY will turn more north northwestward over the East China Sea while gradually accelerating.
• INDAY is forecast to gradually weaken throughout the forecast period due to the cooler waters over sea east of Taiwan (resulting from upwelling brought on by the slow movement of the typhoon) and East China Sea, and increasing vertical wind shear along its projected path.
Considering these developments, the public and disaster risk reduction and management offices concerned are advised to take all necessary measures to protect life and property. Persons living in areas identified to be highly or very highly susceptible to these hazards are advised to follow evacuation and other instructions from local officials. For heavy rainfall warnings, thunderstorm/rainfall advisories, and other severe weather information specific to your area, please monitor products issued by your local PAGASA Regional Services Division.
The next tropical cyclone bulletin will be issued at 11:00 AM today.
