Here are live updates for Tropical Storm Chedeng based on Pagasa advisories. 

Chedeng now a typhoon–Pagasa

MANILA, Philippines — Tropical Cyclone Chedeng intensified into a typhoon on Thursday, according to state meteorologists.

Chedeng was located 935 kilometers east of Central Luzon carrying maximum sustained winds of 120 kilometers per hour (kph) with gustiness reaching up to 150 kph, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said.

Pagasa said the typhoon will remain far from the country’s landmass and is unlikely to bring direct rainfall.

Chedeng maintains strength

At 11 a.m., TS Chedeng maintains its strength and moves northward over the Philippine Sea. 

TS Chedeng is estimated, based on all available data, at 1,190 km east of southeastern Luzon moving northward at 10 km/h.

It still has maximum sustained winds of 75 km/h near the center and gustiness of up to 90 km/h

Tropical Storm Chedeng is unlikely to directly bring heavy rainfall over any portion of the country in the next 3 to 5 days, a Pagasa advisory said.

Although the current forecast scenario for this tropical cyclone may result in the enhancement of the Southwest Monsoon, the timing and intensity of monsoon rains over the country (especially in the western portion) may still change due to the dependence of monsoon enhancement on the forecast movement and intensity of Chedeng and its interaction with the other weather systems surrounding it.

Chedeng slightly intensifies

At 3:00 p.m. Wednesday, the center of Tropical Storm “CHEDENG” {GUCHOL} was estimated based on all available data at 1,160 km East of Southern Luzon (15.0°N, 133.7°E) with maximum sustained winds of 85 km/h near the center and gustiness of up to 105 km/h. It is moving west northwestward slowly.

Severe Tropical Storm #ChedengPH has intensified while moving west northwestward over the Philippine sea on Thursday morning.

Typhoon Chedeng to enhance ‘habagat’, rain expected in parts of Luzon

Typhoon Chedeng is forecast to reach peak intensity on Friday, June 9, and trigger rain in parts of Luzon by enhancing the southwest monsoon or “habagat.”

“Chedeng is likely reaching its peak intensity within the next 24 to 36 hours due to marginally favorable environmental conditions,” the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said in its 5:00 am update.
