Situation Overview

TROPICAL DEPRESSION "MARILYN" SLIGHTLY WEAKENS WHILE MOVING NORTHEASTWARD.

  • Between today and tomorrow morning, the Southwest Monsoon will bring occasional to frequent light to moderate with intermittent heavy rains over Western Visayas, Zamboanga Peninsula, Sulu Archipelago, Palawan and Mindoro Provinces. Scattered light to moderate rains with at times heavy rain showers due to thunderstorms will be experienced over Bicol Region and the rest of MIMAROPA and Visayas.

  • Residents of the aforementioned areas, especially those living in areas identified to be highly or very highly susceptible to floods and rain-induced landslides, are advised to take precautionary measures, coordinate with local disaster risk reduction and management offices, and continue monitoring for updates, especially the Thunderstorm or Rainfall Advisories and Heavy Rainfall Warnings to be issued by PAGASA Regional Services Divisions.

  • Sea travel is risky, especially for small seacrafts, over the western seaboard of Southern Luzon and the seaboards of Visayas and Mindanao due to potentially rough sea condition.

  • "Throughout the forecast period, "MARILYN" remains less likely to make landfall in the country and may eventually weaken into a Low Pressure Area (LPA). However, potential re-development into a Tropical Depression remains likely. The public and disaster risk reduction and management offices are advised to monitor for updates regarding this weather disturbance.

At 10:00 AM today, the center of Tropical Depression "MARILYN" was estimated based on all available data at 1,215 km East of Basco, Batanes (21.6 °N, 133.6 °E)
