  • Tropical Storm NANGKA (FERIA) has weakened slightly after crossing the rugged terrain of Northern Mindoro this afternoon, and passing very close to Puerto Galera...now off the NW coast of Mindoro. Its small core or the non-eye area known as Central-Dense overcast (CD0) continues to lash Northwestern Mindoro and Batangas...threat to Metro Manila and Cavite still persist through the night.

    *Residents and visitors along Southern Tagalog Provinces, Mindoro, Metro Manila and SW Luzon should closely monitor the progress of NANGKA.

    *Kindly refer to your local warnings & bulletins issued by your country's official weather agency. This advisory is intended for additional information purposes only.


    + Forecast Outlook: NANGKA is expected to turn NW and pass near the coasts of Batangas-Cavite-Bataan tonight...and shall slightly intensify. It shall be near the west coast of Zambales and Pangasinan by tomorrow. The 2 to 5-day Long-Range Forecast shows NANGKA turning more to the NNW across the South China Sea on Thursday evening, June 25 thru Friday, June 26. It shall reach its peak forecast winds of 100 kph by then. NANGKA shall start to recurve towards the NNE on Saturday June 27 and shall pass across Taiwan Strait as a weakening system on Saturday evening. It shall be over the East China Sea, near the coast of Eastern China on Sunday afternoon, June 28th.

    + Effects: NANGKA's main core remains small and is currently affecting Batangas, Lubang Is. and Northern Mindoro and might affect Cavite and Bataan later tonight. Its inner bands continue to spread across the rest of Mindoro, Laguna, and shall reach Metro Manila later tonight...Winds of up to 95 kph with moderate to heavy rains can be expected along the inner bands especially along the core or central-dense overcast (CDO) of the system. Meanwhile, outer bands of NANGKA continues to affect parts of Central Luzon, Southern Quezon, Western Bicol, parts of Northern Visayas and the Calamian Group of Islands. Light to moderate rains with winds & squalls plus thunderstorms can be expected along the outer bands. 1-day rainfall accumulations of 100 up to 150 mm can be expected along the storm's rain bands...with isolated accumulations of up to 200 mm near the center. Improving weather can be expected across the rest of Bicol Peninsula and Rest of Visayas as the storm moves farther away.  Residents in low-lying areas & steep slopes must remain alert & seek evacuation for possible life-threatening flash floods, mudslides & landslides due to the anticipated heavy rains brought about by this system. Precautionary measures must be initiated if necessary.
