First Possible Storm of 2019 To Be Named “Amang”, PAGASA Says

The state weather bureau PAGASA was still monitoring a low-pressure area, which is expected to be the first possible storm of 2019 that will be named “Amang”.

On Tuesday (January 15, 2019), the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) released the latest weather updates in the country.

The low-pressure area was last located at 2,885 kilometers east-southeast of Mindanao and expected to enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) on Friday (January 18, 2019).

PAGASA said that the weather disturbance might intensify into a tropical storm prior of its entry into the PAR.

The possible tropical cyclone will be given a local name “Amang” after breaking into the country’s vicinity.

The northeast monsoon would bring cloudy weather conditions with light rain over the Cagayan Valley Region and Aurora province.

Partly cloudy to cloudy conditions with isolated light rain was also expected over the rest of Luzon and the Visayas due to the northeast monsoon.

Cloudy weather conditions with isolated rainshowers are also expected over the Mindanao.

Meanwhile, the coastal water conditions over the eastern sections of southern Luzon, the Visayas, and Mindanao would be moderate to rough.

The surrounding sea conditions over the rest of the country would be slight to moderate, according to the weather agency.
