At 10:00 p.m. today, PAGASA spotted Tropical Storm “Quiel” 950 kilometers East of Aparri, Cagayan with maximum sustained winds of 110 kilometers per hour (kph) near the center and gustiness of up to 140 kph. It is forecast to move West at 17 kph, the weather agency said.
Weather forecasters estimated a rainfall amount of 15 to 25 millimeters per hour within the 300 km diameter of the tropical storm.
PAGASA has not raised any public storm warning signal yet as TS “Quiel” is still too far to directly affect any part of the country, but Undersecretary Graciano Yumul in a phone interview said this weather disturbance may intensify into a typhoon over the weekend.
