The country is once again bracing for a significant weather event, as Severe Tropical Storm #HannaPH (HAIKUI) charts its course across the Philippine Sea. Issued at 5:00 PM on 31 August 2023, the latest Tropical Cyclone Bulletin paints a detailed picture of Hanna’s trajectory, intensity, and the potential challenges it may pose to certain regions.
Enhanced by Super Typhoon SAOLA and slightly by HANNA and Severe Tropical Storm KIROGI, the Southwest Monsoon is set to pour occasional to monsoon rains over western Luzon in the coming three days. Elevated or mountainous areas might receive heavier rainfall, heightening the risks of flooding and landslides, especially in hazard-prone zones and regions with recent heavy rains.
The boosted Southwest Monsoon will persist in bringing gusty conditions to areas including Ilocos Region, Cordillera Administrative Region, Zambales, and more. This holds true for both today, tomorrow, and Saturday.
Though HANNA is unlikely to induce rough seas, the slightly intensified Southwest Monsoon has triggered a Gale Warning for the majority of Luzon and Visayas’ seaboards. This could lead to disruptions in maritime activities, including potential suspension of sea voyages.
