Meanwhile, in its separate 5 a.m. weather forecast, the state weather bureau said that Typhoon Champi is approaching the Philippine area of responsibility and is expected to enter the country by Tuesday. It will be given the local name ‘Rosal.’
However, the typhoon is not yet directly affecting the country on Monday as easterlies and intertropical convergence zone are the weather systems prevailing in parts of the country.
