Typhoon "Samuel" has exited the Philippine Area of Responsibility.
The Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration made the announcement in its 5 p.m. bulletin, only hours after the tropical cyclone entered PAR early in the day.
PAGASA said the typhoon was located 1415 km east northeast of extreme Northern Luzon, and was moving east northeastward at 10 kph.
Although "Samuel" is less likely to directly affect the weather condition throughout the forecast period, the northeast monsoon will bring strong to gale-force gusts over most of Luzon and Visayas, Dinagat Islands, Surigao del Norte, Misamis Oriental, Camiguin, Lanao del Norte, Misamis Occidental, Zamboanga del Norte, Davao Oriental, Davao Occidental and Sarangani today.
A gale warning is also in effect over the northern and western seaboards of Northern Luzon, PAGASA said.
