Tropical Storm Yagi (2024)

This article is about the 2024 tropical storm. For other storms of the same name, see List of storms named Yagi and List of storms named Enteng.

Tropical Storm Yagi, known in the Philippines as Tropical Storm Enteng, is an active tropical cyclone affecting the Philippines in early September 2024. The eleventh named storm of the annual typhoon season. Yagi formed as low-pressure area late on August 30 to the northwest of Palau. Early on September 1, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) reported that the low-pressure area had intensified into a tropical depression and assigned it the name Enteng. The depression strengthened into a tropical storm a few hours later and was named Yagi by the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA). Yagi heads northwestward as it made its first landfall over Casiguran, Aurora on September 2.

The origins of Tropical Storm Yagi can be traced back to August 30, when the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) reported that a low-pressure area had formed approximately 540 km (330 mi) northwest of Palau.[1][2] The broad low-pressure area began to organize and developed into a tropical depression on August 31.[3] Deep convection activity became concentrated around a circulation center, which was in a favorable environment with excellent equatorward and poleward outflow and warm sea surface temperatures of 29–30 °C (84–86 °F).[4] On September 1, Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) declared the system a tropical depression and named it Enteng, as it formed within the Philippine Area of Responsibility.[5] At 03:00 UTC that day, the United States Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) issued a tropical cyclone formation alert due to its low-level circulation center becoming well-defined with formative banding in its northern quadrants.[6] A few hours later, the system was classified as tropical depression 12W, exhibiting a rapidly consolidating low-level circulation, a compact central dense overcast (CDO), and deep convective banding over the western semicircle; it then intensified into a tropical storm and was named Yagi by the JMA.[7][8] Yagi then shifted northwestward along the southwestern edge of a mid-level subtropical high,[8] which caused its convection to be sheared to the north and left the low-level circulation center exposed.[9] As the system progressed up the coast of Luzon island, the colder cloud tops in the CDO continued to expand, and at 2:00 PHT (06:00 UTC) on September 2, the storm made landfall in Casiguran, Aurora.[10][11]

Preparations

edit

As PAGASA started to track as a depression on September 1, Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal No. 1 was raised in Western Visayas; some parts of Bicol Region; eastern portions of Cagayan and Isabela; southern portions of Quirino and Nueva Vizcaya, and northern Quezon.[12] Shortly after Yagi became a tropical storm, PAGASA raised Signal No. 2 for the northeastern portions of Camarines Sur, the entire province of Apayao, Babuyan Islands, Cagayan, Ilocos Norte, Isabela, Polillo Islands, and Quirino; northern portions of Aurora and Camarines Norte; and eastern portion of Kalinga. The agency also added Mountain Province; Ifugao; Benguet; Ilocos Sur; La Union; Nueva Ecija; Rizal; Laguna; Marinduque, some parts of Batangas; Bulacan; Pampanga; and Pangasinan, as well as Metro Manila to Signal No. 1 because of gusty winds and heavy rains caused by the storm.[13]

Classes in Metro Manila[14] and the provinces of Bataan, Batangas, Cavite, Northern Samar, Quezon, and Rizal were suspended on September 2.[15] Several domestic flights to Bicol were also cancelled at Ninoy Aquino International Airport.[16] Forced evacuations were ordered in Naga, Camarines Sur.[17] An evacuation advisory was raised for the Marikina River after water levels reached 16 meters.[18]

Impact

edit

Yagi caused flooding in Metro Manila,[19] and in the provinces of Bulacan,[20] Camarines Sur,[21] Cavite,[22] Laguna,[23] Northern Samar,[24] and Rizal.[25] At least two deaths were recorded in Central Visayas, while ten others were injured. At least 43 people were displaced, while ten houses were damaged.[26] One infant drowned in Naga, Camarines Sur.[27] Three people died in a landslide in Antipolo.[28] Eleven people were killed by floods and landslides after intense rainfall from Yagi.[29] More than 2,400 motorists were stranded in ports nationwide due to the storm, mostly in Eastern Visayas.[30] At least 20 flights at Ninoy Aquino International Airport were cancelled, while five regional airports also experienced disruptions.[31] In Manila Bay, two ships ran aground off the coast of Navotas.[32] About 28,000 people lost access to electricity in Metro Manila, Calabarzon and Bulacan.[33]
