Quedan may become typhoon
Tropical Storm Halong, located 2,150 kilometers east-northeast of extreme northern Luzon, may enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) and be named Quedan.
Halong is currently moving slowly northwestward with sustained winds of 75 kph and gusts up to 90 kph.
Its path depends on high-pressure systems, with a possibility of entering PAR if influenced by a high-pressure area near China.
While not expected to affect the entire country, Halong's potential to influence weather in northern and eastern Luzon is being monitored.
Typhoon Matmo, formerly Paolo, is intensifying the southwest monsoon, bringing rains to Palawan and the Kalayaan Islands, though it poses no direct threat to the Philippines.
