MANILA: Tropical Depression Crising may make landfall in mainland Cagayan by Friday (July 18) night, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said.
Crising was last spotted 335 kilometers northeast of Virac, Catanduanes, according to Pagasa's 5pm tropical cyclone bulletin on Thursday (July 17).
The tropical depression was moving west-northwestward at 30 kilometers per hour, packing maximum sustained winds of up to 55 kph near the center and gusts of up to 70 kph.
'Crising will move generally northwestward over the next 24 hours. A landfall scenario over mainland Cagayan by tomorrow evening is possible,' Pagasa explained.
'Afterwards, it will move westward, traversing the northern portion of Northern Luzon, and turn west-northwestward until it exits the Philippine Area of Responsibility by Saturday afternoon,' it added.
Pagasa further forecast that Crising will become a tropical storm by either Thursday night or early Friday morning.
Meanwhile, several local government units (LGUs) have suspended classes for Friday in anticipation of inclement weather due to Tropical Depression Crising and the southwest monsoon, locally known as habagat. - Philippine Daily Inquirer/ANN

Typhoon Wipha devastates Philippines, Vietnam, Laos

PHNOM PENH: Laos, the Philippines, and Vietnam remain on high alert as Typhoon Wipha continues its destructive path across Southeast Asia. The storm has caused widespread damage to homes and infrastructure while displacing thousands of people. The Philippines' National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council reported that approximately 800,000 people have been affected by the tropical storm, with five fatalities and seven individuals missing. Critical services, including water supply, ferry operations, and airport functions, have been disrupted due to heavy rains and flooding. Known locally as 'Crising,' the typhoon has battered regions such as Cagayan, Luzon, Visayas, Mindanao, and Isabela, with other areas also experiencing severe rainfall. In Vietnam, Typhoon Wipha, referred to as Storm Number 3, entered the northern Gulf of Tonkin, posing a significant threat to coastal regions. The National Centre for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting warned of potential flash floods and landslides in low-lying and urban areas, including the Red River Delta, Thanh Hoa, and Nghe An. VietnamPlus reported that prolonged rainfall is expected to persist in northern Vietnam and parts of northern Laos as the storm expands its reach. Authorities have been instructed to closely monitor marine tourism, aquaculture activities, and vessel movements in vulnerable coastal zones. - Bernama
