MANILA, Philippines —  Tropical cyclone wind signal no. 1 remained hoisted over parts of Northern Luzon as Typhoon Goring, which reintensified into a super typhoon, exited the Philippine area of responsibility (PAR) last night.

The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said another typhoon (with international name Haikui) was expected to enter PAR last night.

In its 5 p.m. advisory, PAGASA said wind signal No. 1 was raised over Batanes, Babuyan Islands, Ilocos Norte, the northern portion of Apayao and northwestern portion of Cagayan.

Goring was monitored 85 kilometers west of Itbayat and was moving northwest at 15 kilometers per hour (kph).

It was carrying maximum sustained winds of 195 kph near the center and gustiness of up to 240 kph.

Goring is forecast to continue to bring heavy rainfall over Batanes, the Babuyan Islands, Ilocos Norte, the northern portion of Apayao and extreme northwestern portion of mainland Cagayan until this afternoon.

Once outside the PAR, Goring may move nearly parallel to the coast of Guangdong, China.

The new typhoon, named Hanna, was moving generally northwest and will remain far from the Philippine landmass.

It may intensify into a typhoon and reach its peak intensity before exiting PAR tomorrow morning.

Hanna was carrying maximum sustained winds of 100 kph near the center and gustiness of up to 125 kph.

PAGASA said Hanna is less likely to directly affect the country but may start to enhance the southwest monsoon today.

The southwest monsoon is affecting Central and Southern Luzon, the Visayas and Mindanao.

Monsoon rains are expected over Zambales, Bataan, Occidental Mindoro and the northern portion of Palawan.

Occassional monsoon rains are forecast over Metro Manila, the rest of Ilocos, the rest of Mimaropa, Tarlac, Pampanga, Bulacan, Cavite, Batangas and Antique.

Cloudy skies with scattered rains are expected over the rest of Luzon and the rest of Visayas.

The rest of the country may see isolated rains due to the monsoon and localized thunderstorms.
