PAGASA Says Typhoon Falcon Enhances Southwest Monsoon
PAGASA WEATHER UPDATE – The state weather bureau reported that Typhoon Falcon enhances habagat, which will bring rain over parts of the country.
On Tuesday (August 1, 2023), the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration released the latest weather update in the country. Typhoon Falcon will continue to affect the country’s weather conditions.
PAGASA reported that Falcon was last spotted 925 kilometers east northeast of Extreme Northern Luzon. It has maximum sustained winds of 175 kilometers per hour and gustiness of up to 215 kph.
Falcon is moving northwest at a speed of 20 kph. The typhoon enhances the southwest monsoon, which will bring occasional monsoon rains over the western portion of Luzon in the next three days.
Habagat will bring monsoon rains over Zambales and Bataan. It will also bring occasional rains over Metro Manila, Pangasinan, Pampanga, Bulacan, and Occidental Mindoro.
The southwest monsoon will bring cloudy weather conditions with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms over Cordillera Administrative Region, Cagayan Valley, Calabarzon, the rest of Ilocos Region, the rest of Central Luzon, the rest of MIMAROPA, and Antique.
Partly cloudy to cloudy weather conditions are expected over the remaining parts of the country.
PAGASA also said that Falcon may intensify into a super typhoon after leaving the Philippine Area of Responsibility.

“Falcon is potentially at its peak intensity at this time and likely to maintain its strength for the next 48 hours, although intensification into a super typhoon is not ruled out,” PAGASA said.
The weather disturbance is expected to leave the country’s vicinity on Tuesday afternoon or evening.
The weather agency has warned the public of possible flash floods and landslides due to moderate to heavy rains and severe thunderstorms.
Meanwhile, the coastal water condition over most parts of the country will be moderate to rough, according to the weather bureau.
