4 Provinces in Visayas Under Signal No. 2 as Tropical Storm Basyang Accelerates 5 Key Insights You Need to Know

As Tropical Storm Basyang continues its westward trajectory, four provinces in Visayas are now under Signal No. 2, and it's essential to stay informed about the storm's progression. Here are five key insights you need to know

Insight #1 Provinces Under Signal No. 2

At least four provinces in Visayas - Siquijor, the southeastern portion of Negros Oriental, the southern portion of Cebu, and the southern portion of Bohol - have been placed under Signal No. 2 as Tropical Storm Basyang accelerates its approach to Eastern Mindanao.

Insight #2 Areas Under Signal No. 1

In addition to these provinces, some areas in Luzon and Visayas are also under Signal No. 1, including Cagayancillo and Cuyo Islands in Luzon, as well as parts of Eastern Samar, Samar, Biliran, Leyte, Southern Leyte, Bohol, Cebu, Negros Oriental, Negros Occidental, Guimaras, Iloilo, Capiz, Aklan, and Antique.

Insight #3 Storm's Current Status

As of its 11 a.m. bulletin, Tropical Storm Basyang was packing maximum sustained winds of 65 kilometers per hour (kph) with gustiness of up to 80 kph. The storm is currently estimated to be 295 kilometers east of Hinatuan, Surigao del Sur and moving westward at 25 kph.

Insight #4 Landfall and Track

According to Pagasa administrator Nathaniel Servando, Tropical Storm Basyang will make its initial landfall over Surigao del Sur tonight. After crossing Mindanao, it is likely to emerge over Bohol Sea tomorrow morning, and may pass close or make another landfall over Siquijor and the southern portion of Negros Oriental by Friday afternoon.

Insight #5 Expected Impact

As Tropical Storm Basyang interacts with the landmass, it will slightly weaken. However, residents in areas under Signal No. 2 should still be prepared for strong winds and heavy rainfall. It's essential to stay updated on weather advisories and follow evacuation orders if necessary.
