In its bulletin, the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said the tropical cyclone was estimated some 480 kilometers west of Subic Bay.
Moving west-northwestward at 20 kilometers per hour (kph), Jacinto has maximum sustained winds of 45kph near the center and gustiness of up to 55kph, the state-run weather agency said., This news data comes from:http://erlvyiwan.com
Moving northwestward in the next 12 hours, the tropical depression will likely exit the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) tonight, Pagasa said.
It is, however, enhancing the southwest monsoon or "habagat" which is affecting several areas particularly in Luzon, it added.
