Heavy rainfall due to tropical storm ‘Enteng’ and enhanced southwest monsoon rains prevail over Metro Manila cities and several provinces across Luzon, state weather forecasters advised on Tuesday.
According to its early morning advisory, the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said ‘Enteng’ moved to Northern Luzon and lingered over the West Philippine Sea.
It was forecast to continue moving westward by Wednesday until it reaches Hainan, China this weekend. PAGASA said ‘Enteng’ may still evolve into a severe tropical storm this afternoon as it exits the Philippine Area of Responsibility tomorrow morning.
“A minimal to moderate risk of storm surge may occur in the next 48 hours in the low-lying or exposed coastal localities of Cagayan, Isabela, Ilocos Norte, and Ilocos Sur,” PAGASA said.
