The tropical depression Dindo has intensified into a tropical storm early Monday, PAGASA said. The Southwest Monsoon (Habagat) meanwhile will bring rains over Batanes and Babuyan Islands. At 4 a.m., the center of Dindo was estimated to be located at 640 km northeast of Itbayat, Batanes, packing maximum sustained winds of 65 km/h near the center, gustiness of up to 80 km/h, and central pressure of 1000 hPa. Dindo is moving northeastward at 10 km/h. From its center, strong to gale-force winds are extending outwards up to 320 km. No Tropical Cyclone Wind Signals (TCWS) were raised as the storm is not forecast to have a direct effect on the country Because Tropical Storm Dindo is far [from the landmass], no tropical cyclone wind signal was raised. We are not expecting that the storm will have a direct effect anywhere in the country. The seas will be moderate in Extreme Northern Luzon due to Dindo and the Southwest Monsoon. "Mariners of motor bancas and similarly sized vessels are advised to take precautionary measures while venturing out to sea and, if possible, avoid navigating in these conditions, especially if inexperienced or operating ill-equipped vessels," PAGASA said.
