The state weather bureau PAGASA reported that the Tropical storm Fabian has slightly intensified nearing severe tropical storm category.
On Monday (July 19, 2021), the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration released the latest weather update in the country. Tropical storm Fabian would enhance the southwest monsoon.

Habagat would also bring similar weather conditions over over the provinces of Batanes, Cagayan, Isabela, Quirino, Nueva Vizcaya, Abra, Benguet, Apayao, Kalinga, Mountain Province, Ifugao and Aurora.
Monsoon rains are also expected over the provinces of Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, La Union, and Pangasinan.
The weather agency warned that sea travel using small sea craft remains risky due to the moderate to rough coastal water conditions.
