Tropical storm “Dindo” exited the Philippine area of responsibility at 9 a.m. Monday, according to the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA).
PAGASA last monitored the center or the eye of the storm at 670 kilometers northeast of Itbayat, Batanes.
It was moving northeastward slowly with maximum sustained winds of 65 kilometers per hour (km/h) near the center and gustiness of up to 80 km/h.
The state weather bureau said ‘Dindo’ is unlikely to directly affect the weather condition in the country within the forecast period.
It noted that ‘Dindo’ and the southwest monsoon will bring moderate seas of up to 2.0 meters over the coastal waters of extreme Northern Luzon.
“Mariners of motor bancas and similarly sized vessels are advised to take precautionary measures while venturing out to sea and, if possible, avoid navigating in these conditions, especially if inexperienced or operating ill-equipped vessels,” PAGASA said.
