Carina exits PAR, heavy rains continue in Luzon
Typhoon Carina exited the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) and made landfall in southeastern China, continuing to influence the Southwest Monsoon (Habagat), causing heavy rainfall across parts of Luzon through Saturday.
Government work and classes remain suspended in Metro Manila and nearby provinces due to continuous rainfall from the enhanced Southwest Monsoon, with a red heavy rainfall warning still raised over affected areas.
La Mesa Dam continues to overflow after its water level reached 80.16 meters around 6 p.m., leading to ongoing evacuations for tens of thousands of residents in Metro Manila and nearby provinces.
Carina weakened into a severe tropical storm on Thursday evening, with the remaining wind signal over Batanes lifted by PAGASA’s latest report at 11 p.m.
Moderate to heavy rainfall is expected over Ilocos Region, Abra, Apayao, Benguet, Zambales, Bataan, and parts of western Luzon through Saturday due to Carina’s influence on the Southwest Monsoon.
