Next Update: Wednesday Evening, 10 December 2014
Tropical Storm HAGUPIT (RUBY) has become more compact and regained strength while moving westward across the West Philippine Sea, away from the Philippines.
This cyclone will continue to enhance the Northeast Monsoon (Hanging Amihan) - bringing mostly cloudy and windy conditions and cooler temperatures across Northern Luzon...becoming more frequent with possible occasional slight to moderate rains along northwestern sections of Ilocos Region. The threat of flash floods and landslides are likely in hazard-prone areas especially along river banks and mountain slopes of the affected areas. Residents are advised to take necessary precautions.
Residents and visitors along Vietnam should closely monitor the development of Hagupit (Ruby).
