MANILA. Tropical Depression Crising has maintained its strength while continuing its west-northwestward movement over the sea east of the Bicol Region, according to the latest bulletin from the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA). Nine areas are currently under Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal (TCWS) No. 1.
As of the 11:00 a.m. update, the center of Crising was estimated at 535 kilometers east of Juban, Sorsogon. It is packing maximum sustained winds of 55 kilometers per hour near the center, with gusts of up to 70 kph, and moving west-northwestward at 15 kph.
Areas under Signal No. 1 include:
- Cagayan, including the Babuyan Islands
- Isabela
- Northeastern portion of Aurora (Dilasag, Casiguran, Dinalungan, Dipaculao)

Cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms are expected over the Bicol Region, Eastern Visayas, Isabela, Aurora, Quezon, Dinagat Islands, and Surigao del Norte due to Tropical Depression Crising. Moderate to heavy rains may trigger flash floods and landslides.
The southwest monsoon, meanwhile, is affecting other parts of the country. Western Visayas, Negros Island Region, Palawan, and Occidental Mindoro will experience occasional rains, with a risk of flash floods or landslides.
Metro Manila, the rest of Central Luzon, CALABARZON, MIMAROPA, Central Visayas, Zamboanga Peninsula, Northern Mindanao, Caraga, La Union, and Pangasinan will have cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms due to the monsoon. Flash floods and landslides are possible due to moderate to heavy rainfall.
The rest of the country will experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms, with potential flash floods or landslides during severe thunderstorms.
Moderate winds from the southwest to west will prevail over Southern Luzon, Visayas, Mindanao, and the western section of Central Luzon, with moderate coastal waters.
Elsewhere in Luzon, light to moderate winds from the southwest to northwest will bring slight to moderate sea conditions.
