CEBU CITY, Philippines – The entire Cebu will be having generally fair weather on Wednesday, April 12, 2023, as Tropical Depression Amang is forecasted to weaken into a low-pressure area (LPA).

TD Amang was last seen within the coastal waters of San Andres, Catanduanes at 4 a.m. on Wednesday.

The tropical depression continues to pack wind with speeds up 45 kilometers per hour (kph) with gustiness reaching up to 60 kph. 

However, the state weather bureau projected that Amang may likely weaken into a LPA on Wednesday evening or tomorrow. 

In the meantime, the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) has raised Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal (TCWS) No. 1 on at least 10 areas in Luzon due to Amang’s presence.
