Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, August 21) — Tropical storm Isang (international name: Hato) which is spotted east of the northernmost part of the Philippines has slightly weakened, weather forecasters said.

It added Isang will enhance the southwest monsoon (Habagat), which in turn could bring “light to moderate to possible occasionally heavy storms” over the following areas:
Metro Manila

Bicol
Visayas
Storm signal number 2 is up over the Batanes group of islands, while storm signal number 1 is raised in the Babuyan group of islands.
