PAGASA: Rainy Christmas Day

In a video posted by DOST PAGASA on Facebook, a tropical storm internationally known as “Nock-ten” was spotted at 1,485 km east of Mindanao with winds of 65 km per hour moving west-northwest at a speed of 80 kph. Report says Nock-ten is forecast to enter the Philippine area of responsibility tonight or on Christmas Eve and will be called Typhoon “Nina” affecting the Bicol and Samar areas.

Metro Manila will have isolated rainshowers from December 22 to December 24. Baguio City will also experience isolated rain showers on the same dates with temperatures ranging from 14 degrees Celsius to 24 degrees Celsius. Cebu will have rains on December 24 and Davao will be experiencing rains and thunderstorms from December 22 to December 24.

According to a report made by the Philippine Star, section chief Rene Paciente warned the public to take extra care and prepare for Typhoon Nina. PAGASA administrator Vicente Malano in the report said there was a “very slim chance that it will not develop into a cyclone” but it may not reach a super typhoon category as well.
