Tropical Depression Emong Exits Philippine Area
Tropical Depression Emong has exited the Philippine area of responsibility (PAR) as of 7:10 a.m. on Saturday, according to recent updates from the weather authorities. The tropical depression’s movement and intensity have been closely monitored by local meteorological agencies.
At the latest report, Emong was located 500 kilometers northeast of Itbayat, Batanes. It was traveling north-northeast at a speed of 45 kilometers per hour, carrying winds up to 55 kph and gusts reaching 70 kph. The tropical depression is expected to continue accelerating in this direction.
Rapid Weakening Expected Soon
The weather bureau noted that the conditions around Emong are becoming less favorable for its maintenance. Due to its fast movement and the less supportive environment, Emong is likely to lose its strength and downgrade into a remnant low within the next 12 hours.
Updates on Emong’s status will continue, with the next tropical cyclone bulletin scheduled for 11 a.m. Local sources emphasized the importance of staying alert despite the storm’s departure from the area.
