According to the 5 a.m. bulletin of the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration, Carina was last spotted about 290 kilometers northeast of Itbayat, Batanes. It was moving northwest at 25 kilometers per hour (kph), with maximum sustained winds of 155 km/h near the center and gusts of up to 190 km/h.

It also strengthened the southwest monsoon or “Habagat,” which is expected to bring moderate to heavy rainfall to western Luzon from Wednesday to Friday.
