PAGASA warns of flooding, lahar from Kanlaon due to ‘Querubin’
Tropical Depression Querubin is expected to weaken into a remnant low within 24 hours, but it could still pose risks of flooding and lahar flows from the Kanlaon Volcano on Friday, the weather bureau warned Wednesday.
“The remnant low is expected to be very near Mt. Kanlaon by Friday, so those living near the volcano should take extra precautions against possible flooding and lahar,” Veronica Torres, weather specialist of the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA), said in a briefing before noon.
The weather bureau advised residents near Kanlaon to remain vigilant.
Querubin’s remnants are expected to continue bringing rains over much of Visayas and Mindanao, including the Sulu Sea and Palawan, which are part of its forecast track.
