Typhoon Aghon, also known as Ewiniar, has made a powerful entrance as the first tropical cyclone to enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility this year. As it moves away from land, experts suggest it may not directly bring heavy rainfall but will enhance the southwesterly windflow, potentially triggering adverse weather conditions. Aghon has already intensified and made eight landfalls, with expectations of further development into a full-fledged typhoon near Casiguran, Aurora.

Severe Tropical Storm Ewiniar, on its northeastward trajectory over Lamon Bay, is set to make landfall on Polilo Island, Philippines. The regions in its path are bracing for impact and preparing for potentially severe weather conditions. As the storm intensifies, the government is mobilizing aid and resources to address the looming threat to provinces in northern Luzon.

President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has issued a call for increased vigilance and safety measures among residents in Aghon-affected areas. The importance of preparedness and awareness is emphasized as the storm's effects continue to persist in Eastern Luzon, with indications that southwesterly winds will play a significant role in ongoing weather patterns.

In the wake of Typhoon Aghon, reports indicate 7 injuries and thousands affected in regions such as CALABARZON, MIMAROPA, Bicol, and Eastern Visayas. The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) is actively responding to the aftermath, highlighting the necessity of timely and coordinated response efforts amidst the challenges posed by the cyclone.
