"Outside PAR region, Typhoon Hanna will be slow-moving westward or west-northwestward over Taiwan Strait," Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) assistant weather services chief Chris Perez said in press briefing forecast to make its final landfall along coast of Guangdong or Fujian in China on Tuesday as severe tropical storm.
Rainfall in Luzon will persist until tomorrow amid continued effects of Typhoon Hanna and enhanced southwest monsoon, according to PAGASA.
Hanna (international name Haikui) was expected to exit Philippine area of responsibility (PAR) last night or this morning.
Perez said dark clouds brought by Hanna were affecting portion of northern tip of Luzon. Hanna also enhanced southwest monsoon, causing dark clouds in rest of Northern Luzon and certain parts of Central and Southern Luzon as well as Western Visayas.
Heavy rain over Ilocos region and in provinces of Abra, Bataan, Benguet, Occidental Mindoro and Zambales will persist until Wednesday, according to Perez.
Metro Manila will experience rainfall today and tomorrow, he said.
Meanwhile, water level in Angat Dam in Bulacan has reached 201.43 meters due to continuous rain.
"As rains are expected to continue, we expect water level in Angat to further improve," PAGASA hydrologist Sonia Serrano said.
Angat Dam supplies more than 90 percent of Metro Manila's potable water needs. It irrigates 25,000 hectares of farmlands in Bulacan and Pampanga.
Both Ipo and Bustos dams, also located in Bulacan, continued to release water as of yesterday morning.
