The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) on Monday afternoon, May 27 lowered the tropical cyclone wind signals as Typhoon “Aghon” (international name: Ewiniar) moved farther away from the country’s landmass.
In the 5 p.m. tropical cyclone bulletin, only Signal No. 1 remains raised over the eastern portion of Quirino, the southern portion of Nueva Vizcaya, the eastern portion of Isabela, Aurora, the northern portion of Quezon including Polillo Islands, and the northwestern portion of Camarines Norte including Calaguas Islands.
00:00This is our latest satellite animation, and as of 4 in the afternoon, the eye of the storm Agon was last seen, 155 kilometers west of Casiguran in Aurora.
00:13So it still has maximum sustained winds of 140 kilometers per hour near its eye, and gustiness up to 170 kilometers per hour.
00:23And it is still moving slowly, 10 kilometers per hour only, east-northeast while at the east of Northern Luzon.
00:31Based on our latest satellite animation, it is slowly enhancing our southwesterly wind flow, or the mixed winds coming from East Ganluran.
00:41And that means we will experience rain in many areas here in Western Visayas, Zamboanga Peninsula, Mimaropa this afternoon until tomorrow morning.
00:52And based on our latest satellite animation, we don't have any cloud clusters, other than this, that could be a low-pressure area or a new storm in the next few days.
01:05This is the latest track of the storm regarding Typhoon Agon.
01:09Yesterday morning, as you can see, it only stayed in the area of Quezon Province, its center, because this is the time when it will have a recurve.
01:20That's why the rain that fell in Calabarzon area, especially in Quezon, increased.
01:25And then afterwards, it moved northeastward, even though it was slow, it passed through Polilio Island in Quezon,
01:32until it reached the eastern side, the coastal waters of Aurora.
01:37And tomorrow morning, we expect that it will be further.
01:41300 kilometers east of Tuguegarao City, Cagayan.
01:44Tomorrow afternoon, it will reach around 500 kilometers east of Batanes.
01:49And it will be further, Wednesday afternoon, more than 1,000 kilometers northeast of extreme northern Luzon.
01:57And afterwards, it will leave the area of responsibility.
02:01For the next two days, it will remain as a typhoon, that is between 140 to 155 kilometers per hour.
02:08So it's still strong, even though we expect strong winds in this circle,
02:14our country will no longer have experience if it goes out, or if it moves further, tomorrow morning.
02:22For now, this is our signal number one.
02:24Our areas that have signal number two have been removed, here in eastern Isabela and Aurora.
02:30We still have signal number one in the eastern portion of Quirino, as Madela, Nagtipunan, and Aglipay.
02:36Southern portion of Nueva Vizcaya, as Anfalso, Castaneda, Dupax del Sur, and Dupax del Norte.
02:43Eastern portion of Isabela, as Divilacan, San Mariano, San Guillermo, Jones, Etxague, San Agustin,
