MANILA — State weather bureau PAGASA assigned the local name Inday to Super Typhoon Bavi late Tuesday evening while it remained outside the Philippine area of responsibility, as tropical cyclone wind signal was raised over parts of northeastern mainland Cagayan.Signal no. 1 is in effect in Santa Ana, Gonzaga, Lallo, Gattaran, and Santa Teresita, where strong winds may begin within the next 36 hours.PAGASA said wind signal no. 2 or 3 could be the highest warning to be raised during Inday’s passage.As of 10 p.m. Tuesday, Super Typhoon Inday was located 1,545 kilometers east of Northern Luzon.It packs maximum sustained winds of 185 kilometers per hour with gusts up to 230 kph. It has also picked up speed, now moving at 30 kph westward.Inday’s strong winds now extend up to 900 kilometers from its center.The super typhoon is forecast to maintain its intensity while moving generally west northwestward over the Philippine Sea through Thursday.It may then weaken into a typhoon and continue steadily weakening while moving northwestward until it exits the PAR on Saturday, July 11.While landfall over the Philippine landmass remains unlikely, Inday may pass close to Batanes on Friday, July 10, bringing strong winds and heavy rains to the province.Meanwhile, the southwest monsoon or Habagat is already affecting the western section of Mindanao and is expected to spread north to the western sections of Visayas and Luzon.Inday is forecast to enhance the Habagat beginning Thursday, and bring gusty conditions and monsoon rains over the western portions of the country.From Friday to Sunday, heavy to intense monsoon rains may affect Negros Island Region, Western Visayas, MIMAROPA, Bicol Region, CALABARZON, Central Luzon, Ilocos Region, western Cordillera, and Metro Manila.Widespread and serious flooding and rain-induced landslides are likely in these areas and may pose a significant threat to life.Severe flooding may trigger forced evacuations; damage to agriculture, homes, and infrastructure; class and work suspensions; disruptions to land, sea, and air travel; and the spread of water- and vector-borne illnesses such as leptospirosis and dengue.Rain-induced landslides may also cause house collapses, rockfalls, and road blockages in mountainous areas.The public is advised to continue monitoring official weather updates on Super Typhoon Inday and the enhanced Habagat, as forecasts may still change.

State weather bureau PAGASA assigned the local name Inday to Super Typhoon Bavi late Tuesday evening while it remained outside the Philippine area of responsibility, as tropical cyclone wind signal was raised over parts of northeastern mainland Cagayan.
