In its 11 a.m. tropical cyclone bulletin, state weather bureau PAGASA said Betty, which packs winds of 150 kilometers per hour near the center and gustiness of up to 185 kph, was last tracked 315 km east of Basco, Batanes.
Signal No. 2 remains hoisted over Batanes and the northeastern portion of Cagayan (Santa Ana, Gonzaga) including Babuyan Islands.
