The tropical cyclone off Pacific Ocean has strengthened into a typhoon and may further intensify into a super typhoon, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said on Monday, May 22. ManilaBulletin READ:
Mawar has a chance of intensifying into a super typhoon with winds of at least 185 kph while still over the ocean.
Rains due to the enhanced-southwest monsoon or “habagat” may prevail over the western parts of the country by weekend. As of Monday morning, the typhoon with the international name Mawar had maximum sustained winds of 130 kph near the center and gusts of up to 160 kph, up from 100 kph maximum sustained winds and gusts of up to 125 kph on Sunday afternoon.
However, it has no direct effect on the Philippines yet, but it continues to enhance the southwesterly wind flow, which causes cloudy weather with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms over Palawan, Occidental Mindoro, and Antique, he added.
