The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) raises Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal (TCWS) No. 1 over selected areas in Northern Luzon due to tropical depression “Kiyapo.” Pagasa reports that Kiyapo—previously a low-pressure area—approaches the Philippine landmass, prompting a precautionary alert issued with lead time. In advisories issued around Thursday morning and afternoon, Pagasa states that TCWS No. 1 is hoisted over parts of Northern Luzon and warns of a “minimal to minor threat to life and property.” The wind threat corresponds to expected wind speeds ranging from 39 kilometers per hour (kph) to 61 kph. One Pagasa advisory notes that the wind signal is raised about 36 hours before the stronger winds are expected to be felt in the affected areas, even though these areas have not yet experienced the winds at the time of the announcement. The alerts remain tied to the weather bureau’s bulletins and forecasts for Kiyapo’s track and timing of stronger wind impacts.
