(Eagle News)–Tropical Depression “Nimfa” is moving slowly over the northern portion of the Philippine Sea and will bring rains in parts of the country today.
The Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration said the center of “Nimfa” was located 715 kilometers east northeast of Basco, Batanes, packing maximum sustained winds of up to 55 kilometers per hour near the center, and gustiness of up to 70 kph.
“Nimfa” is moving in a west northwest direction.
Between today and tomorrow (20 September) morning, PAGASA said frequent light to moderate with occasional heavy rains will be experienced over Ilocos region, Cordillera Administrative Region, Cagayan Province, Zambales, Bataan, and Occidental Mindoro.
Occasional light to moderate rains with at times heavy rainshowers during thunderstorms will, the weather bureau said, affect Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon.
Sea travel is risky, especially for small seacraft, over the seaboards of Northern Luzon and the western seaboard of Central Luzon due to “potentially rough to very rough sea conditions,” PAGASA said.
The bureau said the conditions in most of the other seaboards of the country will remain moderate to rough.
