(UPDATED, 9:30 AM)

Certain local government executives have already announced the suspension of classes for Monday, 2 September 2024, in their respective constituencies in anticipation of the torrential rains expected to be caused by tropical storm “Enteng” (international name: Yagi) and the southwest monsoon.

As of 8:00 AM, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration or PAGASA reported that “Enteng” was last spotted 100 kilometers (km.) north northwest of Daet, Camarines Norte or 115 km. east northeast of Infanta, Quezon (15.0°N, 122.7°E).

It carries maximum sustained winds of 75 kilometers per hour (KPH) near the center, gustiness of up to 90 KPH, and central pressure of 994 hPa. “Enteng” is moving west northwestward at 15 KPH.

Enteng’s strong to typhoon-force winds extend outwards up to 280 kilometers from the center. It is projected to reach a peak category of typhoon by Thursday or Friday. The weather bureau has raised storm warning signals over the following areas:
