A tropical depression, which will be named ‘Basyang,’ is likely making its initial landfall in Caraga and will affect large parts of Visayas and Northern Mindanao, bringing heavy rains and threatening winds, according to the state weather bureau on Tuesday.
The weather disturbance developed into a tropical depression from a low pressure area just a few hours ago and will be named ‘Basyang’ once it enters the Philippine Area of Responsibility between Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said.
In PAGASA’s 5:00 p.m. tropical cyclone bulletin, pre-Basyang was located 1,075 kilometers east of Northeastern Mindanao, packing maximum sustained winds of 55 kilometers per hour (kph) and gusts of up to 70 kph.
