State weather bureau Pagasa on Tuesday afternoon, June 1, raised the red warning level over Bohol amid the onslaught of Typhoon Dante.
In its 4 p.m. advisory, Pagasa said the red warning level means to take action, as torrential rainfall (more than 30 millimeters per hour) has fallen or is expected to fall.
Severe flooding is expected in these areas, it said.
Bohol was placed on storm signal no. 1.
A low pressure area (LPA) is expected to enter the Philippine area of responsibility within 24 hours, bringing with it light to moderate rain in parts of Mindanao and the Visayas.
Classes in several areas in Bohol province have been suspended Wednesday, Jan.11, 2023, by their respective local governments due to inclement weather.
Nights would be longer after the autumnal equinox, which marks nearly equal lengths for light and dark, on Tuesday (Sept. 22).
