DOH on blue code alert:
Government hospitals in most parts of Luzon went on blue alert Sunday in preparation for super typhoon Lupit (Ramil), which is expected to hit the country Wednesday or Thursday.
The National Disaster Coordinating Council (NDCC) said the Department of Health (DOH) sent alert memos to six Luzon regions the typhoon threatens to hit directly.
DOH maintained blue alert code with manpower on duty; pre-positioned medicines and medical supplies.
Covered by the DOH alert memos are Ilocos, Cagayan Valley, Central Luzon, Southern Luzon, Metro Manila and Cordillera.
NAVY on red alert:
The Philippine Navy said Sunday it has put its forces in Northern, Central and Southern Luzon on red alert status.
Awaiting super typhoon Lupit (Ramil), the Navy is preparing their equipment and vehicles, including choppers, Islander planes, 18 M-35 trucks, 18 rubber boats, and amphibious vehicles and trucks.
But Navy admitted that their personnel have been strained and their resources are getting thin after the efforts they exerted in the last two cyclones.
PAGASA has not yet raised any storm signal:
PAGASA expects that rains may start falling over the eastern part of Northern Luzon Tuesday.
We keep on tracking the storm. Next update around 05:00pm this afternoon.

( 1 / 3 )Tomorrow begins the 30th Camiguin Lanzones Festival
After weeks of preparations and training, our kids and young people won't sleep tonight. Tomorrow is their most important day of the year.
If you do not yet have a ferry ticket or a reservation in a resort, you may still come to Camiguin.
The PARAS SEA CAT offers a promotional fare during the Lanzones Festival and the most friendly folks of Camiguin will find a bed for you for some pesos.
Weather is fair to good. The approaching typhoon Lupit(Ramil) works as a vacuum cleaner an brings us fresh air and slurps away the clouds.

When looking at the track forecast, you may ask how they can predict these tracks with direction changes as shown below.
The answer is very complex. It can be found at the:
European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts
The ECMWF global atmospheric model is at this moment the best available model.
