Latest satellite image shows the core of Tropical Storm Linfa is now moving over the waters of the South China Sea. TS Linfa made landfall in Isabela yesterday morning (Sunday) and exited through Ilocos Norte. Bands of light to moderate rains still continue, however, with the southwesterly inflow still bringing moisture across Central Luzon including parts of Metro Manila. Wet weather will continue through the night and into the morning.
Tropical Storm Linfa (Bagyong Egay) is now forecast to turn northward away from the Philippines. Expect unsettled weather to linger through later this evening, especially across Northern Luzon. Up to 200mm of rainfall were recorded in some parts of Luzon, causing flash floods and landslides. Local government in numerous cities have also canceled school and offices due to widespread flooding. TS Linfa should now move northward and is expected to affect Taiwan by tomorrow.
