Tropical Depression Goring continues to maintain its strength as it moves on a north northwestward trajectory over the Philippine Sea, positioned to the east of Basco, Batanes.
The storm's current center was pinpointed at 355 km East Northeast of Calayan, Cagayan, or approximately 300 km East of Basco, Batanes, with coordinates 19.9°N, 124.8°E. The depression's intensity remains consistent, boasting maximum sustained winds near its center clocking in at 55 km/h, accompanied by gusts of up to 70 km/h. The central pressure measures at 1004 hPa.
As of the latest report, Tropical Depression Goring is moving at a speed of 15 km/h on a north northwestward track. The extent of its tropical cyclone winds spreads outward to approximately 130 km from the center.
No Wind Signal has been raised at this time. The immediate forecast suggests that Tropical Depression Goring is less likely to bring heavy rainfall over the nation in the forthcoming three days. However, due to the storm's close proximity to land, a westward shift in its projected path could lead to substantial rainfall over parts of Cagayan Valley within the same three-day span. Authorities urge the public and disaster response teams to stay vigilant and stay tuned for further updates.
In the approaching days, the Southwest Monsoon might experience reinforcement from this tropical cyclone, potentially ushering in intermittent rains over the western portions of Central and Southern Luzon. Authorities are considering the possibility of issuing a Weather Advisory for the Southwest Monsoon, given the evolving situation.
Residents and local communities in the affected areas are advised to stay informed about the storm's progress and adhere to safety recommendations provided by relevant authorities. It is crucial to remain cautious and prepared for any sudden changes in the weather conditions that Tropical Depression Goring might bring.
