PAGASA – Ulysses Leaves PAR, Restrengthens Into Typhoon
PAGASA – Weather bureau PAGASA recently said that Ulysses is now outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility.
The weather bureau said in its 11 AM update that Ulysses has re-intensified into a typhoon, leaving gusty winds merging with the Northeast Monsoon wind flow over some areas in Luzon.
The GMA News added that Ulysses and the Northeast Monsoon will continue to bring gusty conditions over Batanes, Babuyan Islands, Cordillera Administrative Region, Ilocos Region, Zambales, and Bataan.
Batanes and Babuyan Islands face moderate to heavy rainfall while Cagayan Valley, Cordillera Administrative Region, Ilocos Norte, and Aurora will face light to moderate with at times heavy rains.
The bureau warned that flash floods, landslides, and lahar may occur during heavy or prolonged rainfall, especially in areas that are highly or very highly susceptible to the hazards.
Based on the report, Ulysses was last spotted at 9:30 AM on Thursday and is expected to move westwards or west-northwestward toward the central portion of Vietnam and re-intensify into a typhoon at 8 AM.
Ulysses will more likely maintain its strength within the next 12 hours and will gradually weaken due to increasingly unfavorable conditions caused by the surge of the Northeast Monsoon or amihan.
It was last spotted at about 500 kilometers per hour near the center and gusts of up to 120 kilometers per hour.
