#KardingPH

Pagasa says the southwest monsoon, which is being enhanced by Tropical Storm Yagi (Karding while in PAR), will bring heavy rains over the following areas:

• Batangas (Nasugbu, Tuy, Lian, Calatagan, Calaca, Lemery, Laurel)
• Metro Manila
• Cavite
• Bulacan
• Zambales
• Bataan

Light to moderate with occasional heavy rains may be expected in Tarlac, Pampanga, Laguna, Rizal, northern Quezon, and the rest of Batangas, the weather bureau says in a Rainfall Warning on Monday morning.

State weather bureau PAGASA says Tropical Storm Karding is now outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility.

A yellow rainfall warning has been hoisted over Metro Manila, Bulacan, Rizal and Cavite.

PAGASA warns of flooding in low lying areas.

Tropical Storm Karding has kept its strength while moving generally northwestward, PAGASA says.

“Karding” is expected to leave the Philippine Area of Responsibility between Friday night and Saturday morning.

PAGASA also says that the low pressure area outside PAR has developed into a tropical depression.

The tropical depression outside PAR and “Karding” are enhancing the southwest monsoon, which will bring scattered to widespread moderate to heavy rains over Batanes, Babuyan Group of Islands, Ilocos region, Cordillera Administrative Region and the western section of Central Luzon starting Friday.

PAGASA says the center of Tropical Storm Karding (international name: Yagi) was 1,150 km east of Basco, Batanes as of early Friday morning.

"Karding" has maximum sustained winds of 75 kph  near the center and gustiness of up to 90 kph. The storm is moving north northwest at 20 kph.

Although "Karding" is in the northernmost part of the Philippines, the southwest monsoon, or habagat, will affect the country and bring rain.

Tropical Storm Karding has slightly slowed down as it moves northwestward, PAGASA says.

“Karding” and the low pressure area over the West Philippine Sea may boost the southwest monsoon, which will bring scattered to widespread moderate to heavy rains over Northern and Central Luzon starting Friday.

Tropical Storm Karding has maintained strength as it continues to move east-northeastward, PAGASA says.

Although not expected to make landfall, "Karding" and a low pressure area outside the Philippine area of responsibility may enhance the southwest monsoon which will bring scattered to widespread moderate to heavy rains over northern and central Luzon, especially over the western section, beginning this Friday, August 10. 

“Karding” has developed into a tropical storm Wednesday afternoon, state weather bureau PAGASA says.

Tropical Storm Karding packs maximum sustained winds of 65 kilometers per hour and gustiness of up to 80 kilometers per hour.

Moving east northeast at 15 kilometers per hour, it is expected to exit the country between Friday evening and Saturday morning.

State weather bureau PAGASA says Tropical Depression Karding has slightly strengthened while remaining almost stationary over the Philippine Sea.

“Karding” packs maximum sustained winds of 60 kilometers per hour near the center and gustiness of up to 75 kilometers per hour.

It was last seen 1,135 kilometers east of Basco, Batanes.

State weather bureau PAGASA says that Tropical Depression Karding will exit the country on Friday. 

According to the latest weather bulletin, “Karding” packs maximum winds of 55 kilometers per hour and gustiness of up to 65 kilometers per hour. 

It has no direct effect to the Philippine landmass, PAGASA adds. 

The low pressure area east of Aparri, Cagayan has become a tropical depression Tuesday morning, state weather bureau PAGASA says.

Its local name is “Karding.”

No tropical cyclone warning signal has been raised yet.

PAGASA is also monitoring a low pressure area west of Subic, Zambales.

“Karding” and the LPA are expected to enhance the southwest monsoon, which will bring scattered moderate to at times heavy rains over Northern Luzon and the western section of Central Luzon starting Friday.
