Storm Warning Signal elsewhere is now lowered.
Estimated rainfall amount is from 10 - 25 mm per hour (moderate - heavy) within
the 600 km diameter of the Typhoon.
Typhoon "IGME" is expected to enhance the Southwest Monsoon that will
bring light to moderate rains over Luzon specially the Western section (Metro
Manila, Pangasinan, Zambales, Bataan, Batangas and Mindoro).
Fishing boats and other small seacrafts are advised not to venture out into the
Eastern Seaboards of Central and Southern Luzon due to big waves caused by
Typhoon "IGME" and the Southwest Monsoon.
The public and the disaster coordinating councils concerned are advised to take
appropriate actions and watch for the next bulletin to be issued at 11 AM
today.
