MANILA, Philippines – Tropical Storm 'Ramon' (Kalmaegi) slightly intensified and now moving northward, state weather bureau PAGASA announced in its 5:00 am bulletin today, November 15, 2019.
At 4:00 am today, the center of 'Bagyong Ramon' was estimated based on all available data at 445 km East Northeast of Casiguran, Aurora.
UPDATE: 'Bagyong Ramon' PAGASA weather update November 16, 2019
TS Ramon has maximum sustained winds of up to 75 km/h near the center and gustiness of up to 90 km/h. It is moving North at 15 km/h.
Forecast Positions
Tropical cyclone warning signal No. 1 (30-60 km/h Expected in 36 hours) was raised over the areas of Southeastern portion of Cagayan (Peñablanca and Baggao), eastern portion of Isabela (Divilacan, Palanan, Dinapigue and Maconacon), Northern Aurora (Dilasag, Casiguran, and Dinalungan) and Polillo Islands.
Today, light to moderate with intermittent heavy rains may be experienced over the eastern portions of Cagayan and Isabela, Bicol Region, Romblon, Panay Island, and Cuyo Islands.
Tomorrow (November 16), light to moderate with occasional heavy rains may be experienced over the eastern portions of Cagayan and Isabela. Light to moderate with intermittent heavy rains over Apayao, Northern Aurora and the rest of Isabela and Cagayan.
Residents in the aforementioned areas, especially those living in areas identified to be highly or very highly susceptible to flooding and rain-induced landslides, are advised to take precautionary measures, coordinate with local disaster risk reduction and management offices, and continue monitoring for updates, especially the Thunderstorm or Rainfall Advisories and Heavy Rainfall Warnings to be issued by PAGASA Regional Services Divisions.
Gusty conditions may be experienced today over Northern Luzon, especially in coastal and mountainous areas due to the Northeast Monsoon enhanced by "RAMON".
Sea travel is risky, especially for small sea crafts, over the seaboards of areas under TCWS, the seaboards of Northern Luzon, and the eastern seaboards of Central and Southern Luzon due to prevailing or forecast rough sea conditions.
