Typhoon Saudel, formerly locally known as Obet, has exited the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR), but it is still expected to enhance the southwest monsoon, bringing thunderstorms over Luzon, according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) on Tuesday.
Saudel exited PAR at around 9:30 p.m. Monday and was located 1,180 kilometers east-northeast of Extreme Northern Luzon as of 3:00 a.m., PAGASA said in its 5:00 a.m. press briefing.
It also weakens to 150 kilometers per hour (kph) of maximum sustained winds and 185 kph gustiness.
Despite exiting PAR, Typhoon Saudel is still expected to intensify the southwest monsoon, threatening all of Luzon.
