Waves could be 2 to 3.5 meters high in the

REACT
NOW seaboards of extreme Northern Luzon and the
eastern seaboard of mainland Northern Luzon
on Friday, June 9, due to Typhoon Chedeng
(Guchol)

MANILA, Philippines – Typhoon Chedeng

(Guchol) maintained its strength while moving
over the Philippine Sea on Friday morning,
June 9.

The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and

Astronomical Services Administration
(PAGASA) said in its 11 am bulletin on Friday
that Chedeng was already 920 kilometers east
of Northern Luzon.

The typhoon is moving north northwest at 10

kilometers per hour (km/h) and is
“approaching the period where it will be
closest to the country.” Overall, though, it will
remain far from Philippine landmass.

Chedeng still has maximum sustained winds of

130 km/h and gustiness of up to 160 km/h.

Since the typhoon is far from land, it is not

causing rain in any part of the country and
tropical cyclone wind signals are unlikely to be
raised.

But PAGASA said Chedeng may trigger

moderate to rough seas in the seaboards of
extreme Northern Luzon and the eastern
seaboard of mainland Northern Luzon. Waves
could be 2 to 3.5 meters high.

PAGASA advised small vessels to take

precautionary measures.

The weather bureau also noted that Chedeng

could enhance the southwest monsoon or
habagat, which may bring occasional rain to
parts of southwestern Luzon, particularly the
following areas:

Saturday, June 10

Occidental Mindoro, Calamian Islands,

northwestern part of Antique (Caluya)

Sunday, June 11

Zambales, Bataan, Occidental Mindoro,

northern part of Palawan including
Calamian and Cuyo islands, Antique

Floods and landslides are possible, warned

PAGASA.

The southwest monsoon may also bring gusts,

or sudden and strong winds, to these areas:

Friday, June 9

Visayas, Romblon, Occidental Mindoro,

northern part of Palawan including
Kalayaan, Calamian, and Cuyo islands,
Surigao del Norte, Dinagat Islands,
Camiguin

Saturday, June 10

Visayas, Calabarzon, Mimaropa, Bicol,

Camiguin, Dinagat Islands

Sunday, June 11

Western Visayas, Northern Samar,

Mimaropa, Bicol, Calabarzon, Metro
Manila, Ilocos Region, Zambales, Bataan,
Bulacan, Aurora, Benguet

Chedeng is projected to move northwest for

the rest of Friday, before turning north or
north northeast on Saturday, June 10.

Then Chedeng may speed up northeast toward

the sea south of Japan on Sunday, June 11.

It is expected to leave the Philippine Area of

Responsibility on Monday, June 12.

PAGASA also said Chedeng may reach a peak

intensity of 140 km/h within 24 to 36 hours. It
could start weakening afterwards, but is seen
to remain a typhoon.

Chedeng is the Philippines’ third tropical

cyclone for 2023 and the first for June.
PAGASA earlier estimated there would be one
or two tropical cyclones during the month.

The weather bureau announced the start of the

rainy season last Friday, June 2. –
