Typhoon Gorio Exits PAR But Heavy Rains Persist

Typhoon Gorio Leaves Philippine Area of Responsibility

Typhoon Gorio exited the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) on Wednesday afternoon, yet heavy rains continue to affect parts of the country, particularly Batanes. The Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) reported that the storm left PAR at 4 p.m., but its impact lingers due to the combined effects of Gorio and the southwest monsoon.

Ongoing Weather Conditions in Batanes

Officials reported that significant rainfall remains over Batanes, raising concerns about localized flooding in urban and low-lying areas. Residents were advised to remain vigilant as floodwaters may still accumulate despite the typhoon’s exit.

Meanwhile, Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal (TCWS) No. 2 is still active in Itbayat, Batanes, with TCWS No. 1 in effect for the rest of the province. These warnings reflect the ongoing threat posed by strong winds and adverse weather conditions.

Gorio’s Current Movement and Forecast

The tropical cyclone is moving generally west-northwestward, sustaining maximum winds of 140 kilometers per hour near its center. By 2 a.m. Thursday, it is expected to be located approximately 575 kilometers northwest of Itbayat, Batanes. Community members noted that the storm’s trajectory keeps it away from the Philippine mainland but continues to influence weather patterns locally.

Expected Weakening of Typhoon Gorio

Pagasa forecasters indicated that Gorio will likely weaken as it interacts with the mountainous terrain of Taiwan and mainland China. This natural disruption will reduce the storm’s intensity over the coming days.

Despite the typhoon’s departure from PAR, residents of affected areas are urged to stay alert and follow updates from local authorities to prepare for possible flooding and strong winds.
