Super Typhoon Bavi (international name) may enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) in the coming days and enhance the southwest monsoon, bringing strong winds and heavy rainfall to parts of the country, according to the state weather bureau on Monday, as reported by BusinessWorld.
Weather specialist Aldczar D. Aurelio stated that if the super typhoon’s movement and direction do not change, it could enter PAR as early as Tuesday. The storm is expected to intensify the southwest monsoon, locally known as habagat, which may result in scattered to widespread rains and gusty winds over portions of Luzon and Visayas.
Residents in affected areas are advised to take precautionary measures and monitor updates from the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA). The agency continues to track the storm’s path and potential impacts as the country braces for the onset of the rainy season.
