PAGASA warned of intense rainfall due to the enhanced southwest monsoon or habagat over parts of Luzon and Visayas within the next three days, while areas under tropical cyclone wind signals may experience between 50 to 200 millimeters of accumulated rainfall until Tuesday.

The enhanced Southwest Monsoon will also bring moderate to intense rainfall in other areas of Luzon (especially along the western portions) over the next three days.

Enteng is expected to continue moving northwestward over northern Cordillera Administrative Region, and is expected to emerge over the northwestern portion of Ilocos Region by Tuesday morning.

From Tuesday to Thursday, Enteng will move generally westward over the West Philippine Sea, before exiting the Philippine area of responsibility by Wednesday morning.

Enteng is also expected to remain a tropical storm while traversing mainlaind northern Luzon, before intensifying into a severe tropical storm by Tuesday afternoon or evening, and into a typhoon by Thursday.

“Considering these developments, the public and disaster risk reduction and management offices concerned are advised to take all necessary measures to protect life and property,” PAGASA warned
