PAGASA Says Typhoon Hanna and Habagat Will Bring Rains Over Parts of the Country
PAGASA LATEST UPDATE – The state weather bureau has reported that Typhoon Hanna, along with the southwest monsoon, will bring rain to various parts of the country.
On Saturday, September 2, 2023, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration released the latest weather update for the country. Typhoon Hanna and the habagat will affect the country’s weather conditions.
PAGASA reported that Hanna was last located 520 km east-northeast of Itbayat, Batanes. It has maximum sustained winds of 120 kph and gusts of up to 150 kph, moving in a westward direction at 10 kph.
Hanna, along with two other tropical cyclones outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility, is intensifying the southwest monsoon, which will bring occasional to monsoon rains to the western portion of Luzon in the next three days.
“HANNA is now forecast to move west northwestward or westward while intensifying until it makes landfall along the east coast of southern Taiwan between late Sunday or early Monday,” PAGASA said.
Gusty weather conditions are expected over Batanes, Babuyan Islands, Ilocos Region, Cordillera Administrative Region, Nueva Vizcaya, Zambales, Pampanga, Bataan, Aurora, Bulacan, Metro Manila, Calabarzon, Mimaropa, Bicol Region, Western Visayas, and the northern portion of Eastern Visayas on weekends.

The southwest monsoon and Hanna prompted PAGASA to raise a gale warning over the northern and western seaboards of Luzon, the eastern seaboards of Central and Southern Luzon, portions of seaboards of Northern Quezon, the southern seaboard of Southern Luzon, and the western seaboard of Visayas.
PAGASA has raised Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal No. 1 over Batanes. The typhoon is expected to leave the Philippine Area of Responsibility on Monday afternoon or evening (September 4, 2023).
