What happened
PAGASA said in its final Maymay bulletin at 5:00 a.m. on August 7 that the system had weakened into a low pressure area over the Philippine Sea. No tropical cyclone wind signal remained in effect.
What we know
The low pressure area was estimated at 620 kilometers east of Echague, Isabela at 4:00 a.m. PAGASA said the remnant circulation was moving eastward and was expected to be absorbed into the circulation of Tropical Cyclone Dolphin within hours.
The southwest monsoon remained the main weather hazard. PAGASA warned of strong to gale-force gusts over much of the country through August 9, while a gale warning covered the seaboard of Extreme Northern Luzon.
Background
Maymay made landfall over Magsingal, Ilocos Sur early on August 6 and crossed Northern Luzon before emerging over the sea east of Central Luzon. PAGASA had already lifted all wind signals by late Thursday as the cyclone weakened.
What remains unclear
Local rainfall conditions can still change quickly even after a cyclone loses its wind classification. PAGASA advised the public to follow regional rainfall warnings, local government instructions, and updates on the southwest monsoon.
Why this matters
The removal of wind signals does not end the risk from flooding, landslides, rough seas, and travel disruption. Communities with saturated soil or exposure to coastal waters should continue to use local hazard advisories as the basis for decisions.
What happens next
PAGASA will continue issuing rainfall, gale, and public weather advisories as the remnant low is absorbed and the southwest monsoon evolves.
