TEMBIN (IGME) strengthened into a Tropical Storm as it barely moves off the North Philippine Sea...still gaining intensity. Outer rainbands continues to spread across the east coast of Cagayan and Isabela.
Meanwhile, since the Southwest Monsoon (Habagat) remains weak, the pull of TD TEMBIN on this seasonal wind system is not much. However, isolated to scattered rains and thunderstorms can still be expected across much of Luzon including Metro Manila.
Residents and visitors along Northern Luzon and Taiwan should closely monitor the progress of TEMBIN (IGME).
