Romina prompts wind signal in Kalayaan, moves northwest; trough brings rains to Palawan, Visayas, Bicol

Tropical Depression Romina prompted Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal No. 1 in Kalayaan Islands on Sunday but has since moved northwestward, prompting its lifting as it no longer affects the area.

As of Monday morning, Romina's center was located 165 km west of Pag-asa Island with maximum sustained winds of 55 kph near its center and gusts up to 70 kph, moving at a speed of 10 kph outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR).

Despite remaining outside PAR, PAGASA forecasts that Romina's trough will continue to bring cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms to Palawan until Monday evening.

Moderate to heavy rain is expected in parts of Visayas, Bicol Region, Calabarzon, Mimaropa, and Northern Samar due to the shear line effect, potentially resulting in flash floods or landslides.

Coastal waters will be rough to very rough in Batanes, Babuyan Islands, Ilocos Norte, Aurora, Bataan, Batangas, Cavite, Quezon, Oriental Mindoro, Lubang Islands, Calamian Islands, Cuyo Islands, Kalayaan Islands, Camarines Norte, Camarines Sur, Catanduanes, and Caluya Islands, with a gale warning raised over the northern and western seaboard of Northern Luzon and Western Seaboard of Southern Luzon.
