HAZARDS AFFECTING COASTAL WATERS

In the next 24 hours, CARINA and the enhanced Southwest Monsoon will bring moderate to rough seas over the northern and eastern seaboards of Luzon (2.0 to 3.5 m) and western seaboards of Central and Southern Luzon, and Western Visayas (1.5 to 3.0 m). Mariners of small seacrafts, including all types of motorbancas, are advised not to venture out to sea under these conditions, especially if inexperienced or operating ill-equipped vessels.

Moderate seas are also expected over the eastern seaboards of Visayas and Mindanao (1.5 to 2.0 m). Mariners of motorbancas and similarly-sized vessels are advised to take precautionary measures while venturing out to sea and, if possible, avoid navigating under these conditions.

TRACK AND INTENSITY OUTLOOK

• Over the Philippine Sea, CARINA is forecast to move generally northward from today until tomorrow (23 July) while gradually accelerating before turning northwestward for the remainder of the forecast period. On the track forecast, CARINA will remain far from the Philippine landmass and exit the Philippine Area of Responsibility on Wednesday evening or Thursday early morning (25 July). The track forecast also shows CARINA passing near or over the southern islands of the Ryukyu archipelago prior to leaving the PAR region and passing close to northern Taiwan after exiting the PAR. From Thursday onwards, CARINA will move over the East China Sea towards southeastern China.
• CARINA is forecast to steadily intensify over the next four days due to favorable environment. It is forecast to reach typhoon category within 12 hours. Rapid intensification within the forecast period is likely.

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.
