(Eagle News)–Tropical Depression “Marilyn” has slowed down as it continued to move in a northwest direction.
In its recent weather bulletin, the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration said as of 10 a.m., the center of “Marilyn” was spotted 1,045 kilometers east of Basco, Batanes, and was moving at 10 kilometers per hour.
“Marilyn” is packing maximum sustained winds of up to 55 kilometers per hour near the center and gustiness of up to 70 kilometers per hour.
Although “Marilyn” remains less likely to make landfall in the country, today until tomorrow morning, frequent light to moderate with occasional heavy rains will be experienced over Palawan, Western Visayas, Zamboanga Peninsula and Bangsamoro.
Occasional light to moderate rains with at times heavy rain showers during thunderstorms will also be experienced over Metro Manila, CALABARZON, Bicol Region, Northern Mindanao, SOCCSKSARGEN, and the rest of MIMAROPA and Visayas.
PAGASA said 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.”
