As of 5:24 Tuesday bulletin, the weather bureau said the low pressure area (LPA) east of Extreme Northern Luzon has developed into Tropical Depression ‘Gardo’.
The typhoon packs 185 kph maximum sustained winds and up to 230 kph gusts, the weather agency added—which makes it fall under Category 5 or super typhoon.
Its trough is expected to cause scattered rains and thunderstorms over the region Calabarzon and the provinces of Aurora and Camarines Norte.
Residents of these areas are cautioned to watch out for flash floods and landslides due to light to moderate, to at times heavy rains.
Earlier in March, PAGASA revised its definition of a “super typhoon” to those with maximum sustained winds of at least 185 kilometers per hour.
