In an announcement posted early on September 11, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) stated that Typhoon Bebinca was located 2,105 kilometers east of the Eastern Visayas region of the country at 10 p.m. on September 10.

This tropical storm is moving northeast at a speed of 20 km/h. So far, the maximum sustained wind speed of Typhoon Bebinca is 65 km/h, with gusts up to 80 km/h.

PAGASA's initial forecast indicated that Typhoon Bebinca could enter the PAR on the evening of September 13th and leave it on September 14th.

Upon entering the PAR, Bebinca could be a severe tropical storm, as it may reach that level by the morning of September 13. PAGASA does not rule out the possibility of Bebinca becoming a stronger storm, “as the weather disturbance remains over the Pacific.”

During the short period Bebinca is expected to remain within the PAR, the tropical storm is predicted to only cross the waters near the northeastern PAR boundary, meaning it will not make landfall. Tropical storm Bebinca is also not forecast to directly affect any areas of the Philippines.

However, PAGASA warns that Bebinca will experience an intensification of the southwest monsoon. The southwest monsoon will then bring scattered rain to Visayas and Palawan province, as well as scattered showers and thunderstorms in some other areas, starting tomorrow, September 12.
