Manila saw rainy weather from the morning of the 5th. Temperatures were in the upper 20s°C, with a daytime high of around 28°C, and the chance of rain was high at 83%.
According to the Japan Meteorological Agency, a tropical depression over the South China Sea developed into Typhoon No. 14, Kujira (Philippine name: Maymay), at 3 a.m. on the 5th. The typhoon was largely stationary, with a central pressure of 998 hectopascals, maximum sustained winds near the center of 18 m/s, and maximum gusts of 25 m/s.
Typhoon No. 14 is expected to make landfall on Luzon by the 6th, and heavy rain is forecast due to the combined effects of the typhoon itself and the southwest monsoon.
It is then expected to move east-southeast over the South China Sea and weaken into a tropical depression over Luzon by 3 p.m. on the 6th. Northern Luzon, which was also hit by heavy rain when Typhoon No. 12 (Noru) approached in late July, is at risk of heavy rain again, and continued caution is advised.
On the 5th, Honobono Real Estate Co., Ltd. (Makati) moved up its employees’ clock-out time by an hour and a half so that staff commuting from Cavite and Batangas provinces would not be stranded on their way home.
