In the latest weather update issued by the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) at 4:00 AM today, it has been reported that a southwesterly windflow is affecting the western sections of Southern Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. Additionally, a tropical cyclone named Typhoon Mawar (2302) has been identified outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR), currently positioned approximately 2,300 kilometers east of Visayas.
As of 3:00 AM today, Typhoon Mawar was located at coordinates 10.6°N and 146.8°E. The typhoon has rapidly intensified, with maximum sustained winds of 155 km/h near its center. It has also been observed to have gustiness of up to 190 km/h. The storm is currently moving northward at a speed of 10 km/h.
Authorities and weather forecasters are closely monitoring Typhoon Mawar as it steadily advances towards the regions of Visayas, Southern Luzon, and Mindanao. The storm's projected path indicates that it will likely make landfall in the coming days, bringing with it potentially severe weather conditions and heavy rainfall.
The potential impact of Typhoon Mawar includes strong winds, heavy rains, storm surges, and possible flash floods or landslides. People residing in coastal areas, as well as those living near rivers and in low-lying regions, are advised to take extra precautions and be prepared for possible evacuation orders.
PAGASA continues to monitor the movement and development of Typhoon Mawar closely, providing regular updates and advisories to the public. It is crucial for everyone to stay informed, exercise caution, and remain vigilant during this weather disturbance.
Further bulletins and updates regarding Typhoon Mawar and its potential impact on the affected regions will be issued as the situation progresses.
