(Eagle News)–Tropical Depression “Marilyn” has maintained its strength as it moved northwestward.
Even if “Marilyn,” which was last spotted 1,175 km east northeast of Casiguran, Aurora or 1,165 km east of Basco, Batanes, is not expected to make landfall, until this evening, the combined effects of the tropical depression and the southwest monsoon will bring moderate to intermittent heavy rains over Aurora, Palawan, Western Visayas, and Zamboanga Peninsula, the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration said.
Light to moderate rains and intermittent heavy rain showers (during thunderstorms) may also prevail over Metro Manila, Bangsamoro, Northern Mindanao, SOCCSKSARGEN, and the rest of Luzon and Visayas.
According to PAGASA, sea travel is risky, especially for small seacraft, over the central and eastern seaboards of Visayas and the seaboards of Mindanao due to “potentially rough sea conditions.”
