“Under these conditions, scattered flooding (including flash floods) and rain-induced landslides are expected, especially in areas with high or very high susceptibility to these hazards as identified in hazard maps,” PAGASA said.
The weather bureau said “Dante” will continue tracking a generally north northwestward direction in the next 12 hours before turning north northeastward this afternoon or evening and northeastward tomorrow morning.
It will be over the Bashi Channel tomorrow afternoon or evening.
