SEVERE Tropical Storm ‘Wutip’ has developed into a typhoon but has remained outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility, the state-run weather bureau said on Friday.
Wutip was spotted 2,400 kilometers east of Mindanao with maximum sustained winds of 130 kilometers per hour (kph) and gustiness of up to 160 kph, the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said.
Pagasa said Wutip was expected to “recurve” away from PAR.
Partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers may be experienced in the Bicol Region, Eastern Visayas, Aurora province and Quezon province.
Metro Manila and the rest of the country will have partly cloudy skies.
Mindanao may experience localized thunderstorms that could bring partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or possible flashfloods in severe thunderstorms. DIVINA NOVA JOY DELA CRUZ
