While Super Typhoon Bavi is still outside the PAR, Valero said the city is maintaining heightened preparedness to ensure a prompt response should weather conditions worsen. The typhoon will be named “Inday” once it enters the PAR. In its 24-hour weather forecast, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said Bukidnon, including the cities of Valencia and Malaybalay, will experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers and thunderstorms due to localized thunderstorms.

PAGASA warned that severe thunderstorms may trigger flash floods or landslides, especially in low-lying and mountainous areas.The CDRRMO urged residents to remain vigilant, monitor official weather advisories, and immediately report any signs of flooding, soil movement, or other hazards to local authorities./coa Your subscription could not be saved.
