Storm Signals Raised Across Luzon
The state weather bureau raised storm signals from Nos. 3 to 1 in several Luzon areas Thursday night as Paolo intensified into a severe tropical storm. The storm signals indicate increasing risk, prompting communities and local officials to prepare accordingly.
Paolo’s Location and Movement
According to official reports, the center of Paolo was located approximately 320 kilometers east of Baler, Aurora, at coordinates 15.6°N and 124.6°E. This position places the storm well offshore but moving closer to Luzon, which could bring heavy rains and strong winds to the region.
Community Preparations and Warnings
Local leaders noted that residents in areas under storm signals have been advised to secure their homes and stay updated with weather advisories. Emergency response teams remain on standby to assist in case of flooding or other storm-related incidents.
Impact Forecast and Safety Measures
Officials reported that the severe tropical storm Paolo is expected to affect Luzon’s eastern seaboard with gusty winds and heavy rainfall. Citizens are urged to avoid unnecessary travel and to follow evacuation orders if issued. Authorities continue to monitor Paolo’s trajectory closely to provide timely updates.
