Gusty conditions and rough seas are also expected between Tuesday and Wednesday.

Pagasa also said that as Bavi moves closer to the Philippines, it will strengthen the southwest monsoon, or “habagat,” bringing heavy rains to the northern and western parts of the country on Thursday.

Bavi was last spotted 2,700 kilometers east of Eastern Visayas, packing maximum sustained winds of 195 kilometers per hour (kph) and gusts of up to 240 kph.
