The Philippine State weather PAGASA
said that tropical storm with the international name ''Hagupit'' is now on track
that is set to enter Philippine area of responsibility between Thursday —Friday.
The PAGASA forecaster said that “Hagupit”
was then headed towards eastern portion of Philippines, packing a maximum
sustained 75 kilometers per hour winds and gusts 90 kph as of Tuesday.
Javier said that the scenario of
the storm is to skirt Philippines and move in the direction of Japan due to high
pressure presence in the area northeast of Philippines and strengthening northeast
monsoon, which brings cold winds with unfavorable development of weather
disturbance.
The forecaster explained that weather
disturbance needs ‘26 degrees Celsius sea surface temperature in order to grow stronger’.
Most likely the scenario for Philippines
is for ‘Hagupit’ to re—curve on the
way to Japan which will avoid hitting Philippine landmass due to Anti—cyclone (HPA).
Hagupit spotted 2,485 km east Mindanao
and will be named ''Ruby'' once it
enters PAR.
According to JTWC forecasts ‘Hagupit’ to strengthen 240 kph December
6, when it near Philippines.
