The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration on Tuesday afternoon, May 30, said the eye of Betty was last seen 315 kilometers east of Basco, Batanes, packing maximum winds of 150 kph and gustiness of up to 185 kph.
Due to the weather disturbance, Signal no. 2 is still raised over Batanes. Signal no. 1, on the other hand, is still in effect over the northern and eastern portions of Isabela, Apayao, the eastern portion of Ilocos Norte, the northern portion of Kalinga, the northeastern portion of Abra and Cagayan including Babuyan Islands.
“This typhoon is forecast to steadily weaken over the next five days due to cooler ocean waters, dry air intrusion, and increasing vertical wind shear. Betty may be downgraded into a severe tropical storm on late Thursday or early Friday, June 2,” said the state weather bureau. The latest forecast track showed that Betty may exit the Philippine area of responsibility on late Thursday, June 1 or early Friday, June 2.
