PAGASA: “Chaba” to enter PAR on Saturday

QUEZON CITY, Philippines — Luzon this weekend will likely take a breather from onslaught of downpour and strong winds despite a new tropical cyclone’s expected entry into the Philippine area of responsibility (PAR) on Saturday (October 1).

The Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) noted that even if ‘Chaba’ enters PAR this Saturday as expected, it won’t enhance the rain-driving southwest monsoon or ‘habagat’ in the country.

Pagasa also said “Helen” is over china and already weakened into a low-pressure area, lessening its enhancement of ‘habagat.’

Tropical Storm “Chaba” will begin enhancing ‘habagat’ around Sunday night, October 2.

Luzon then can begin experiencing light to moderate rains and moderate to strong winds again.
