State weather bureau PAGASA reported that Typhoon Julian (international name Krathon) re-entered the Philippine area of responsibility (PAR) on Thursday after it slammed into northern Luzon.

"At 8:00 AM today (October 3), the center of the eye of Typhoon #JulianPH re-entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR)." According to Pagasa, Julian will continue to bring cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms over extreme Northern Luzon.

Metro Manila and the rest of the country will experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms.

In its bulletin, Pagasa said that Julian is expected to make landfall in the southwestern part of Taiwan on Thursday afternoon. After making landfall, it may “move erratically over Taiwan while rapidly weakening due to land interaction.”

Julian has been weakening due to the “incoming northeasterly wind flow over the East China Sea and Taiwan Strait” as well as the “lower ocean heat content in its vicinity, which is related to upwelling of cooler waters caused by its slow movement for nearly three days.”

‘Julian’ exited PAR on Tuesday in the Super Typhoon category affecting different regions in Northern Luzon. The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) reported that a total of 58,953 families or 211,000 persons from Regions 1, 2 and CAR had been affected.

Leaving two people from Ilocos Region and Cordillera Administrative Region killed while eight were injured from Cagayan Valley, and one person was also confirmed missing due to the heavy rains and strong winds brought by ‘Julian’.

Julian is the Philippines’ 10th tropical cyclone for 2024 and sixth tropical cyclone for September alone.
