Despite Super Typhoon Mawar entering the Philippine area of responsibility between Friday night and Saturday morning, state meteorologists forecast a likelihood that Metro Manila will not see much rain on Monday, May 29. | GabrielLaluINQ
Cayanan said the situation depends on Mawar’s track.
“So by Monday nakikita d’yan na wala masyadong ulan sa Metro Manila. Pero this is a model na ‘wag nating tutukan na kapag sinabing walang nakita, wala na, kasi we are experiencing thunderstorms every afternoon, and kung ‘yong bagyo natin ay tatahak do’n sa northeast — meron kasi kaming binabantayan na position na pwedeng mag-enhance talaga ng habagat,” she said.
Cayanan said the chances of rain are higher by Wednesday, as Mawar — which would be named “Betty” once it enters PAR — would be in a position where it could pull the southwesterly wind flow towards Metro Manila.“Yong worst na scenario na nakikita na malakas na pag-ulan over Metro Manila is Wednesday, so kung saan medyo nasa far northeast na ‘yong bagyo at hahatak na ito ng habagat,” she explained.
Pagasa’s bulletin earlier said, as of Friday afternoon , Mawar was still packing maximum sustained winds of 215 kilometers per hour near the center and gustiness of up to 260 kph.Pagasa meteorologists have also urged Filipinos not to be complacent, just because Mawar is expected to weaken once it enters PAR, as it would still be a typhoon-category cyclone.
