MANILA, Philippines — Typhoon Wutip (international name) may enter the Philippine area of responsibility (PAR) on Thursday, the weather bureau said.
The typhoon was last spotted 1,830 kilometers east of Southern Luzon, packing maximum sustained winds of 190 kilometers per hour and gusts of up to 235 kph, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration said Tuesday.
Wutip was slowly moving north-northwest and still too far to directly affect the country.
Once it enters PAR, it will be locally called “Betty.”
Meanwhile, the northeast monsoon (amihan) is still affecting the entire country.
The Bicol Region, Cagayan, Batanes, Isabela, Aurora and Quezon will have fair weather and chances of isolated light rains. /cbb
