Typhoon Bising returns to the Philippines, issuing fresh warnings for Batanes Islands
**Typhoon Bising (Danas) Set to Make Second Landfall in Eastern China**
Typhoon Bising, internationally known as Danas, is expected to make a second landfall in Eastern China, approximately 30 to 36 hours after its initial impact near Taiwan. The storm, which reentered the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) on July 6 at 11 pm, is currently moving northeast at 20 kilometers per hour (km/h).
As Bising approaches Eastern China, it is projected to gradually weaken. By the time of the second landfall, the typhoon may have weakened to a remnant low, possibly no longer maintaining full typhoon strength. The storm is expected to encounter increasing northeasterly shear and diminished outflow, which will limit its potential for reintensification.
Bising could be downgraded to a severe tropical storm by Monday morning, July 7. However, the typhoon's maximum sustained winds are still 150 km/h, with gustiness of up to 185 km/h, making it a formidable force.
In the Philippines, several regions are experiencing or expected to experience moderate to heavy rainfall. Starting from Sunday evening, July 6, areas on the western side of Luzon will experience such rainfall, and Ilocos Norte will continue to experience it from Monday evening, July 7, to Tuesday evening, July 8. The province of Batanes is under Signal No. 1 due to the typhoon's strong winds, and up to rough seas (travel is risky for all vessels) are expected in the seaboard of Batanes with waves up to 4.5 meters high.
Strong to gale-force gusts are occurring in several regions, including Ilocos Region, Cagayan, Isabela, Aurora, Zambales, Bataan, Quezon, Masbate, Romblon, Occidental Mindoro, Palawan. A new gale warning was issued for the seaboard of extreme Northern Luzon on July 6 at 5 pm.
Flash floods and landslides remain a concern for areas experiencing heavy rainfall. Scattered rain and thunderstorms will persist in several regions, including Metro Manila, Calabarzon, Mimaropa, the Cordillera Administrative Region, the rest of Cagayan Valley, the rest of Central Luzon, Western Visayas, the Negros Island Region, the Zamboanga Peninsula, the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, and Soccsksargen.
PAGASA expects 11 to 19 tropical cyclones to form within or enter PAR in the second half of 2025. Bising is projected to leave the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) for the second and final time on Monday morning, July 7. By Tuesday, July 8, Bising "will make a sharp westward turn," possibly making another landfall in Eastern China.
Residents in the affected areas are advised to stay vigilant and follow the guidance of local authorities. Safety measures should be taken to protect lives and properties from the potential hazards posed by Typhoon Bising.
The upcoming second landfall of Typhoon Bising, or Danas, in Eastern China might not maintain full typhoon strength, as it's projected to weaken into a remnant low due to increasing northeasterly shear and diminished outflow. Despite the potential weakening, the typhoon's maximum sustained winds still pose a threat, reaching 150 km/h with gusts up to 185 km/h.
