Severe Tropical Storm “MARING” (KOMPASU)
Issued at 5:00 PM, 11 October 2021
Valid for broadcast until the next bulletin at 8:00 PM today

HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND AREAS


Heavy Rainfall
 Today, Severe Tropical Storm “MARING” will bring heavy to intense with at times torrential rains over Batanes, northern portion
of mainland Cagayan including Babuyan Islands, Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, Apayao, Abra, Mountain Province, and Benguet.
Moderate to heavy with at times intense rains over the rest of mainland Cagayan, Cordillera Administrative Region, and Ilocos
Region. Light to moderate with at times heavy rains over Central Luzon and the rest of Cagayan Valley. Under these conditions,
scattered flash floods and rain-induced landslides are highly likely especially in areas that are highly or very highly susceptible to
these hazard as identified in hazard maps.
 Under the influence of the Southwest Monsoon enhanced by Severe Tropical Storm “MARING”, monsoon rains are possible over
Visayas, Zamboanga Peninsula, Palawan, Occidental Mindoro, and Oriental Mindoro in the next 24 hours. For more information,
refer to Weather Advisory #4 issued at 11:00 AM today and 24-Hour Public Weather Forecast at 4:00 PM today.

Severe Winds
 Gale- to storm-force strength will be experienced within any of the areas where Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal (TCWS) #2 is in
effect. This may result in generally light to moderate damage to structures and vegetation.
 Strong winds (strong breeze to near gale conditions) with higher gusts will be experienced within any of the areas where TCWS
#1 is currently in effect. This may generally bring up to very light damage to structures and vegetation.
 Due to the expansive wind field of “MARING” and the enhanced Southwest Monsoon, occasional gusts reaching strong to gale-
force in strength are possible over the island, coastal, and upland/mountain localities of Visayas, Dinagat Islands, Surigao del
Norte, Agusan del Norte, Misamis Oriental, Misamis Occidental, Camiguin, Zamboanga del Norte, and the rest of Luzon.

Coastal Inundation
A minimal to moderate risk of life-threatening storm surge reaching up to 1.0 m in height may occur in the next 24 hours. Rising sea
water along with the high waves from the shoreline moving inland may cause flooding in the low-lying coastal localities of Batanes,
Cagayan including Babuyan Islands and Ilocos Norte. For more information, refer to Storm Surge Warning #1 for Severe Tropical Storm
“MARING” issued at 2:00 PM today.
HAZARDS AFFECTING COASTAL WATERS
 Under the influence of Severe Tropical Storm “MARING”, a Gale Warning is in effect for the seaboards of Southern Luzon and
Visayas and the western seaboard of Central Luzon that is not under the TCWS. For more information, refer to Gale Warning #8
issued at 5:00 PM today.
 In the next 24 hours, rough to high seas (2.5 to 7.5 m) will be experienced over the seaboards of areas where TCWS #2 and #1
are in effect. These conditions are risky for all types of sea vessels. Mariners are advised to remain in port or take shelter in port
until winds and waves subside.
 Within the same period, moderate to rough seas (1.2 to 2.8 m) will prevail over the remaining seaboards of Luzon and Visayas
and the northern, eastern, and western seaboards of Mindanao. These conditions are risky for those using small seacrafts.
Mariners are advised to take precautionary measures when venturing out to sea and, if possible, avoid navigating in these
conditions.

TRACK AND INTENSITY OUTLOOK

 “MARING” will continue moving westward over the Luzon Strait until tomorrow early morning. On the forecast track, the center of
the storm is forecast to pass very close or over the Babuyan Islands between tonight. “MARING” may exit the Philippine Area of
Responsibility (PAR) tomorrow morning. Outside the PAR, the storm will continue moving westward over the West Philippine Sea
until it makes landfall in the vicinity of Hainan Island on Wednesday afternoon.
 This tropical cyclone may reach typhoon category tomorrow evening while moving over the West Philippine Sea. Weakening will
likely take place on Wednesday afternoon as it interacts with the landmass of southern China.

Considering these developments, the public and disaster risk reduction and management offices concerned are advised to
take all necessary measures to protect life and property. Persons living in areas identified to be highly or very highly
susceptible to these hazards are advised to follow evacuation and other instructions from local officials. For heavy rainfall
warnings, thunderstorm/rainfall advisories, and other severe weather information specific to your area, please
monitor products issued by your local PAGASA Regional Services Division.

Unless superseded by an intermediate bulletin, the next tropical cyclone bulletin will be issued at 5:00 PM today.
