OTHER HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND AREAS

Heavy Rainfall Outlook

Heavy rainfall directly caused by CARINA remains less likely over next three days. However, there may be changes in the current forecast scenario in the succeeding bulletins, which may affect the heavy rainfall outlook within the forecast period.

The Southwest Monsoon that will be enhanced by BUTCHOY and CARINA will bring moderate to heavy rains over the western portion of Luzon over the next three days. For more information, refer to Weather Advisory No. 20 issued at 11:00 PM yesterday.

Severe Winds

Based on the latest forecast scenario, the hoisting of Wind Signal No. 1 over Extreme Northern Luzon and the eastern portion of Northern Luzon is not ruled out.

Tropical Storm Carina latest Update

The Southwest Monsoon that will be enhanced by BUTCHOY and CARINA will bring gusty conditions over the following areas (especially in coastal and upland areas exposed to winds):
• Today and tomorrow (21 July): Kalayaan Islands
• Monday (22 July): CALABARZON, MIMAROPA, Bicol Region, Western Visayas, Bataan, and Metro Manila.

HAZARDS AFFECTING COASTAL WATERS

CARINA and the Southwest Monsoon will bring moderate seas (1.0-2.0 m) over the coastal waters along the eastern seaboard of Mindanao. Mariners of motor bancas and similarly-sized vessels are advised to take precautionary measures while venturing out to sea.

TRACK AND INTENSITY OUTLOOK

• CARINA is forecast to move generally northwestward until tomorrow while gradually decelerating. It is then forecast to turn generally northward on Monday before accelerating northward or north northwestward over the Philippine Sea towards the Ryukyu archipelago from Tuesday (23 July) onwards. In general, CARINA will generally have a mainly offshore path over the next five days and remain far from the Philippine landmass.
• CARINA is forecast to steadily intensify and reach tropical storm category within the next 24 hours. Beginning on Monday, the tropical cyclone will likely intensify further at a faster rate, eventually reaching typhoon category on Tuesday.

Considering these developments, the public and disaster risk reduction and management offices concerned are advised to take all necessary measures to protect life and property. Persons living in areas identified to be highly or very highly susceptible to these hazards are advised to follow evacuation and other instructions from local officials. For heavy rainfall warnings, thunderstorm/rainfall advisories, and other severe weather information specific to your area, please monitor products issued by your local PAGASA Regional Services Division.

The next tropical cyclone bulletin will be issued at 11:00 AM today.
