The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) warned the public to brace for a strong tropical cyclone in the coming days as Tropical Depression #NandoOPH affects areas in the country.

‍

According to PAGASA, #NandoPH is likely to develop into a  super typhoon by Saturday, September 20.

PAGASA chief Nathaniel Servando said the weather disturbance is expected to strengthen while traversing extreme Northern Luzon, in which case Signal No. 5 would be hoisted.

‍

Additionally, the weather agency said that while tropical depression Nando has maintained its strength while moving over the Philippine Sea, it is expected to intensify further crossing the area..

‍

TD #NandoPH is the 14th storm to hit the country this year.

‍

PAGASA advised the public to take caution as heavy to torrential rains are possible due to the combined effects of habagat or southwest monsoon and TD Nando specifically on Saturday and Sunday.
