Bagyong Kabayan has intensified into a tropical storm as it entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR), the PAGASA said Thursday afternoon.
"At 4:00 p.m. today, Tropical Storm "KABAYAN" was estimated based on satellite and surface data at 1000 km East Southeast of Catarman, Northern Samar (12.3°N 134.7°E) with maximum sustained winds of 65 kph near the center and gustiness of up to 80 kph. It is forecast to move Northwest at 15 kph," the 5 p.m., July 28, 2011 PAGASA bulletin reads.
Bagyong Kabayan may have gained strength but the state weather bureau said that the cyclone is "too far to directly affect any part of the country."
As of July 27, 2011, bagyong Juaning had already claimed a total of 20 lives (reported). But before we can wish this destructive typhoon to exit the Philippine Are of Resposibility (PAR), Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration or PAGASA is currently monitoring the weather system that is actively happening right besides Juaning.
According to the weather bureau, the weather movement on the south-east part of the Philippines threatens to be the next typhoon that will immediately enter the country.
That would mean that the Philippines will experience another tropical storm, Bagyong Kabayan, before we can recover from the previous typhoon.
