Bebinca entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) at 6 p.m. on Friday and was given the local name Ferdie. According to Pagasa's most recent update, Ferdie had maximum sustained winds of 85 km per hour (kph) and gusts reaching up to 105 kph.
Despite Ferdie leaving the PAR, the state weather agency indicated that its trough or extension, along with the southwest monsoon (locally known as habagat), will continue to bring rain to various parts of the Philippines.
“Even though it is now outside our PAR, our latest satellite images still show dense cloud cover across much of the country. This ongoing effect is due to the southwest monsoon or habagat, which is being influenced by the storm,” said Pagasa weather specialist Daniel James Villamil.
“Although it has exited our PAR (Philippine Area of Responsibility), recent satellite images reveal extensive cloud cover over much of the country. This ongoing situation is a result of the southwest monsoon, or habagat, which is being drawn in by the storm.”
Pagasa stated that the southwest monsoon will cause rain in Mimaropa, Western Visayas, Negros Occidental, the Bicol Region, and the remainder of the Negros Island Region on Saturday.
Cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms are also anticipated in Metro Manila, the rest of the Visayas, the Zamboanga Peninsula, the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, Soccsksargen, Caraga, Northern Mindanao, Calabarzon, Zambales, and Bataan due to the southwest monsoon.
Additionally, the southwest monsoon will result in partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms across the remainder of Mindanao and the rest of Luzon as Ferdie's extension affects these areas.
Pagasa did not issue any gale warnings for the country’s seaboards on Saturday.
