Yellow rainfall warning up over Romblon, Oriental Mindoro, Marinduque due to Ursula

PAGASA raised the yellow rainfall warning over the Romblon group of islands, the 2nd District of Oriental Mindoro and Marinduque at 9 a.m. on Wednesday due to Typhoon Ursula.

Areas under yellow rainfall warning will have heavy rain (7.5 to 15 mm) in one hour which may continue in the next two hours. 

Flooding is to be expected in low-lying areas near river channels.

Landslides may also occur in mountainous areas.

Meanwhile, the rest of Oriental Mindoro, Camarines Sur and Burias Islands will have light to moderate to occasional heavy rains which may continue for two to three hours.

PAGASA advised the public and disaster risk reduction and management offices concerned to take the necessary precautions, monitor the weather condition, and await the next advisory to be issued at 12 noon.

Typhoon Ursula battered several provinces in Luzon and Visayas with destructive winds and intense rains on Christmas Day as it maintained its strength, state weather bureau PAGASA said Wednesday morning.

Several areas were placed under Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal No. 3, among them Romblon and southern Oriental Mindoro (Roxas, Mansalay, Bulalacao, Bongabong, Bansud). —KG, GMA News
