Under these conditions, flooding and rain-induced landslides are expected especially in areas that are highly or very highly susceptible to these hazards as identified in official hazard maps and in localities that experienced considerable amounts of rainfall for the past several days.
Furthermore, the enhanced Southwest Monsoon will bring moderate to intense rainfall in other areas of Luzon (especially along the western portions) over the next three days. For more information, refer to Weather Advisory No. 8 issued at 11:00 PM yesterday.
Severe Winds
The wind signals warn the public of the general wind threat over an area due to the tropical cyclone. Local winds may be slightly stronger/enhanced in coastal and upland/mountainous areas exposed to winds. Winds are less strong in areas sheltered from the prevailing wind direction.
• Minimal to minor impacts from strong winds are possible within any of the areas under Wind Signal No. 1.
The enhanced Southwest Monsoon will also bring strong to gale-force gusts over the following areas (especially in coastal and upland areas exposed to winds):
• Today (4 September): Ilocos Region, Abra, Benguet, Isabela Zambales, Bataan, Aurora, Bulacan, Metro Manila, CALABARZON, MIMAROPA, Bicol Region, Western Visayas, Negros Island, and Northern Samar.

HAZARDS AFFECTING COASTAL WATERS
In the next 24 hours, ENTENG and the enhanced Southwest Monsoon will bring the following conditions over the coastal waters of the country:
• Gale Warning is in effect over the northern and western seaboards of Northern Luzon, and the western seaboards of Central and Southern Luzon. Sea travel is risky for small seacrafts, including all types of motorbancas. For more information, refer to Gale Warning No. 7 issued at 5:00 AM today.
• Moderate to rough seas are expected over the remaining seaboards of Northern Luzon and over the remaining western seaboard of Southern Luzon (1.5 to 4.0 m) outside Gale Warning areas. Mariners of small seacrafts, including all types of motorbancas, are advised not to venture out to sea under these conditions, especially if inexperienced or operating ill-equipped vessels.
• Up to moderate seas are expected over the eastern seaboard of Central and Southern Luzon, the southern seaboard of Southern Luzon (1.0 to 2.5 m), the western and eastern seaboards of Visayas, and the eastern seaboard of Mindanao (1.0 to 2.0 m). Mariners of motorbancas and similarly-sized vessels are advised to take precautionary measures while venturing out to sea and, if possible, avoid navigation under these conditions.
TRACK AND INTENSITY OUTLOOK
• Outside the PAR region, ENTENG will move generally westward until tomorrow (5 September), then turn west northwestward for the remainder of the forecast period. ENTENG is forecast to make another landfall in the vicinity of southern mainland China during the weekend.
• ENTENG is forecast to intensify throughout the forecast period and may become a typhoon within the next 12 hours. The tropical cyclone may also reach its peak intensity by Friday (6 September) prior to making landfall in mainland China.
Considering these developments, the public and disaster risk reduction and management offices concerned are advised to take all necessary measures to protect life and property. Persons living in areas identified to be highly or very highly susceptible to these hazards are advised to follow evacuation and other instructions from local officials.
