WeatherAlert: Super Typhoon Mawar is still on track to enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility on Friday evening, May 26, or early Saturday morning, May 27.
MANILA, Philippines – Super Typhoon Mawar slightly strengthened again on Friday morning, May 26, ahead of its expected entry into the Philippine Area of Responsibility .
The super typhoon is still on track to enter PAR on Friday evening or early Saturday morning, May 27. Once inside PAR, it will be given the local name Betty. Mawar could stay over water and not make landfall in the Philippines. But PAGASA stressed that the super typhoon can still trigger heavy rain in Northern Luzon starting late Sunday or Monday, May 29. Floods and landslides are possible.
Asked about Metro Manila, PAGASA Deputy Administrator for Research and Development Esperanza Cayanan said the monsoon rain may be strongest on Wednesday, May 31. But she advised the capital region to be on alert even before Wednesday. Then by late Monday or Tuesday, May 30, Mawar could weaken “at a slightly faster rate” due to increasing wind shear, cooler sea surface temperatures, and dry air intrusion – conditions which PAGASA described as “unfavorable” for tropical cyclones. It might be downgraded to a typhoon during this period but will remain a strong tropical cyclone.
