(Strong winds Kalayaan Islands - -
prevailing or expected
within 36 hours)
Severe Winds
Strong winds (strong breeze to near gale) will prevail over the Kalayaan Islands. This may bring up to very light damage
to structures and vegetation. Considering the forecast scenario for this typhoon in the near term, there is a high
likelihood that wind signal for Kalayaan Islands will be lifted before noon today.
Coastal Inundation
Coastal flooding resulting from hazardous surf conditions may still occur for the Kalayaan Islands.
HAZARDS AFFECTING COASTAL WATERS
• In the next 24 hours, rough to very high seas (3.4 to 12.0 m) will be experienced over the seaboard of Kalayaan
Islands. These conditions are risky for all types of sea vessels. Mariners are advised to remain in port or take
shelter in port until winds and waves subside.
• Under the influence of Typhoon “ODETTE” and the prevailing Northeast Monsoon, a Gale Warning remains in
effect for the seaboards of Northern Luzon, and the eastern and western seaboards of Central and Southern Luzon.
For more information, refer to Gale Warning #55 issued at 5:00 AM today.
• On the forecast track, Typhoon “ODETTE” will move northwestward to northward today through tomorrow early
morning, then generally northeastward for the remainder of the forecast period over the sea areas east of central
Vietnam and Hainan Island.
• “ODETTE” may still intensify within the next 12 hours. Afterwards, the gradual exposure of the typhoon to cooler sea
surface temperatures in the northwestern portion of the West Philippine Sea, increasing vertical wind shear, and the
surge of the Northeast Monsoon will result in a weakening trend. “ODETTE” is forecast to be downgraded to severe
tropical storm category by tomorrow afternoon or evening.
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.
