| Bagyong Dindo Updates 2012 |
"The active low pressure area east of Virac, Catanduanes has developed into a tropical depression and was named 'Dindo,'" the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said on Tuesday afternoon.
As of 5 p.m., June 26, 2012, Bagyong Dindo was estimated based on satellite and surface data at 670 km east northeast of Virac, Catanduanes (14.2°N, 131.3°E) with maximum sustained winds of 55 kph. It is forecast to move west northwest at 19 kph.
Bagyong Dindo is expected to be at 520 km East of Casiguran, Aurora by Wednesday afternoon and at 320 km East of Aparri, Cagayan by Thursday afternoon. The weather disturbance will be a lot closer to land on Friday where it is expected at 80 km North Northeast of Basco, Batanes, the weather bureau said.
According to the PAGASA, Bagyong Dindo will bring an estimated amount of rainfall of 10 - 15 mm per hour (heavy) within its 400 km diameter.
Due to big waves generated by the effect of the Southwest Monsoon and Bagyong Dindo, the PAGASA advises fishing boats and other small seacrafts not to venture out into the Eastern Seaboards of Luzon and Visayas.
More Bagyong Dindo Updates will be posted here once available.
