PAGASA Releases Latest Weather Update for Wednesday (April 12, 2023)
The state weather bureau PAGASA reported that Tropical Depression Amang is expected to weaken into a low-pressure area today.
On Wednesday (April 12, 2023), the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration released the latest weather update in the country. Tropical Depression Amang will affect the country’s weather conditions.
PAGASA reported that Amang has been last spotted over the coastal waters of San Andres, Catanduanes. It has maximum sustained winds of 45 kilometers per hour and gustiness of up to 60 kph.
Weather specialist Obet Badrina said that the tropical depression is expected to weaken into a low-pressure area by Wednesday or Thursday due to the land interaction, dry air intrusion, and increasing vertical wind shear.
“Base sa ating forecast track, posibleng ito ay humina na by tomorrow morning, o mamayang gabi,” Badrina said.
Amang may bring 50-100 mm rainfall for Camarines Provinces and the southeastern portion of Quezon, Camarines Provinces, Quezon, Laguna, and Rizal.
“Kadalasan kapag ang bagyo ay nasa kalupaan na, lalo na kung nasa tropical depression category, posible itong humina at maging isang ganap na low pressure area na lamang,” he added.
The coastal water condition over the eastern and southern seaboards of Southern Luzon and the eastern seaboard of Central Luzon will be moderate to rough.
The weather bureau has advised small seacrafts to take precautionary measures when venturing out to sea.
Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal No. 1 has been raised in the following areas:
• Catanduanes
• Sorsogon
• Albay
• Camarines Sur
• Camarines Norte
• Quezon including Polillo islands
• Ticao Island
• Burias Island

The weather agency has warned the public of possible flash floods and landslides in the affected areas due to heavy rains.
