Marami ang magbibiyahe so pinapayuhan natin sila na maging alerto, maghanda, at mag-ingat kung bibiyahe dahil inaasahan natin sa mga susunod na araw na ang Bagyong Leon, kung hindi magbago ng direksyon, ay makaaapekto sa Northern Luzon,” he said. </p><p>(We are approaching the long weekend and All Saints Day. A lot will be traveling to their hometowns. We advise them to remain alert, prepare, and be cautious when traveling because we expect that in the next couple of days, severe tropical storm Leon will affect Northern Luzon.)</p><p>PAGASA Marine Meteorological Services Section Chief Chris Perez says as early as Tuesday, those in Northern Luzon may already experience rains, which may persist until the end of the month. </p><p>“Kung makakapunta nang mas maaga sa ating pupuntahan bago pa mag-November 1, pumunta na tayo lalo na sa mga kababayan sa Northern Luzon areas. Magsisimulang maramdaman ang pag-ulan doon possibly bukas (Martes) ng hapon hanggang Undas na iyon,” he said. </p><p>(If they are able to go to cemeteries earlier than November 1, especially those in Northern Luzon, we advise them to do that.

However, its wide rain bands are still expected to bring anywhere between moderate to intense rainfall in some parts of the country. </p><p>Aside from northern and northeastern Luzon, the provinces of Antique, Occidental Mindoro, Negros Occidental, and Palawan are also expected to experience rainfall due to the trough or extension of the storm. By Wednesday to Thursday, provinces in the western sections of Central and Southern Luzon such as Bataan and Batangas are also projected to experience moderate to heavy rainfall. </p><p>As of 11 a.m. Monday, tropical cyclone wind signal number one has been hoisted in Batanes, Cagayan including Babuyan Islands, Isabela, Ilocos Norte, Abra, Apaya, Kalinga, eastern portion of Mountain Province, eastern portion of Ifugao, eastern portion of Quirino, northern portion of Aurora, and the northern portion of Catanduanes. </p><p>Signal one cautions residents in these areas for the possibility of minimal to minor impacts from strong winds. </p><p>Perez, however, explains that even if a wind signal has been hoisted in some areas, its effects will not be felt right away. </p><p>Severe tropical storm Leon is forecast to become a typhoon by Tuesday. </p><p>Despite this, it is seen to have minimal effect on Metro Manila. </p><p>Leon is the second storm to hit the Philippines this month. It follows Kristine which wreaked havoc and claimed more than a hundred lives, mostly in Southern Luzon, due to torrential rains which caused the worst flooding in Bicol and Batangas. </p><div><a class="fr-green fr-strong" href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/2024/10/28/116-reported-dead-due-to-kristine-ndrrmc-928">READ: 116 reported dead due to Kristine -- NDRRMC</a></div><p>PAGASA says as 2024 comes to a close, it expects to see up to four more storms enter or form within the PAR, all of them with strong intensity.</p><div><strong>RELATED VIDEO:</strong></div><div><strong><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/AywUSfhGt0Y?&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span></strong><br/></div><div></div>
