Ambo’ intensifies; 7 Luzon areas under signal no. 1

June 2,2012

MANILA (Updated 9:29 a.m.) — Seven areas in Luzon remain under storm signal number 1 as Tropical Storm “Ambo” (international name: Mawar) slightly intensified Saturday as it continues to move north northwestward.
The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) hoisted storm signal number 1 since Friday in the provinces of Catanduanes, Camarines Sur, Camarines Norte, Polillo Island, Aurora, Isabela and Cagayan.
The weather bureau spotted the storm at 220 kilometers east of Casiguran, Aurora as of 5 a.m. Saturday. It is forecast to move north northwest at 13 kilometers per hour (kph).
Pagasa said Ambo is packing maximum winds of 75 kph near the center and gustiness of up to 90 kph. The storm is expected to be at 240 kilometers east northeast of Aparri, Cagayan by Sunday, 360 kilometers northeast of Basco, Batanes by Monday, and 680 kilometers northeast of Basco, Batanes by Tuesday.
Ambo is expected to affect the Bicol region and Northern Luzon and to enhance the southwest monsoon or “hanging habagat,” bringing rains over the entire country. It is the country’s first tropical cyclone for this year.
Pagasa defines a tropical storm as a moderate tropical cyclone with maximum wind speed of 64 to 118 kph.
Robert Sawi, officer-in-charge of the weather division of Pagasa, said Ambo will bring heavy rains of 15 to 25 millimeters per hour within its 500-kilometer radius.
He said it may exit the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) as early as Monday.
“Residents living in low-lying and mountainous areas under signal number 1 are alerted against possible flash floods and landslides,” Pagasa said.
Due to rough seas, the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) reiterated its regulation that vessels of 1,000-gross tons or below, shall not be permitted to sail in case of public storm signal number 1, which is hoisted over Catanduanes.
So far, Ambo has sidelined 332 passengers in various ports in Bicol broken down as follows: 280 (Tabaco, Albay) and 52 (Catanduanes).
Stranded as well are seven vessels, 24 trucks, three buses and six cars, according to PCG spokesperson Lieutenant Commander Armand Balilo.
Fishermen along the country’s eastern seaboard were likewise warned against sailing due to rough sea conditions.
