Tropical Depression “Bising” exited the Philippine area of responsibility (PAR) yesterday afternoon, but its trough as well as the southwest monsoon will continue to bring heavy rains to some areas in Luzon.

“Bising” was located 345 kilometers west northwest of Calayan, Cagayan. No tropical cyclone wind signal was hoisted.

The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said Ilocos Norte will still experience heavy rains due to the cyclone’s trough.

Moderate to heavy rains will prevail over Ilocos Sur and La Union due to the southwest monsoon.

Pagasa said the southwest monsoon and the periphery of Bising will bring strong to gale-force gusts across Ilocos Region, Isabela, the northern portion of Aurora, Zambales, Occidental Mindoro, Marinduque, Romblon, Palawan, and Antique.

Rough coastal waters will be experienced over the western seaboards of Babuyan Islands and Ilocos Norte.

Mariners of small seacraft, including all types of motor bancas, are still advised not to venture out to the sea.

Meanwhile, Pagasa’s latest forecast showed Bising could possibly reenter the western boundary of PAR by Monday, July 7. (PNA)
