More municipalities under Signal No. 1 as “Ramon” moves slowly

(Eagle News)–More municipalities have been placed under Signal No. 1 as Tropical Storm “Ramon” moved northwestward slowly.

The Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration said the eastern portion of Cagayan (Calayan, Aparri, Camalaniugan, Buguey, Santa Teresita, Gonzaga, Santa Ana, Lal-lo, Gattaran, Alcala, Baggao, Amulung, Iguig, Tuguegarao City and Peñablanca), eastern portion of Isabela (San Pablo, Cabagan, Maconacon, Tumauini, Divilacan, Ilagan City, Palanan, and Dinapigue), and northern portion of Aurora (Dilasag, Casiguran, and Dinalungan) are under the signal, with “Ramon,” last spotted 415 km east of Casiguran, Aurora, packed maximum sustained winds of up to 65 kph near the center and gustiness of up to 80 kph.

Today, light to moderate with intermittent heavy rains may be experienced over the eastern portions of Cagayan and Isabela.

Sea travel is risky, especially for small sea craft, over the seaboards of areas under a storm signal, the seaboards of Northern Luzon, and the eastern seaboards of Central and Southern Luzon due to prevailing or forecast rough sea conditions.
