'Egay' may pass close or make landfall in Babuyan Islands in 12 hours — PAGASA

Published Jul 25, 2023 07:05 pm
Typhoon Egay (international name: Doksuri) is expected to pass close to or make landfall in the Babuyan Islands within the next 12 hours, causing more “violent conditions” over extreme Northern Luzon on Wednesday morning, July 26, said the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA). “The center of the eye of Egay was estimated based on all available data over the coastal waters of Calayan, Cagayan,” PAGASA said in its 2 a.m. bulletin. The typhoon continued to move west-northwest at 20 kilometers per hour (kph), while maintaining its maximum sustained winds of 175 kph near the center and gusts of up to 240 kph. “Egay is forecast to move westward or west-northwestward over the Luzon Strait in the next 12 hours and either pass close or make landfall in the vicinity of Babuyan Islands within the same period,” PAGASA said. “After passing the Babuyan Islands, Egay will turn northwestward or north-northwestward and pass over the waters south and southwest of Taiwan. It is forecast to exit the Philippine area of responsibility tomorrow morning (July 27),” it added. (PAGASA)

Signal No. 4

 Due to Egay’s strong winds, tropical cyclone wind signal No. 4 remains hoisted over the northern portion of Cagayan, including Babuyan Islands, and the northern portion of Ilocos Norte. Meanwhile, Batanes, the rest of Cagayan, Apayao, the northern portion of Kalinga, northern portion of Abra, and the rest of Ilocos Norte were placed under Signal No. 3. Signal No. 2 was raised over Isabela, the rest of Kalinga, Mountain Province, Ifugao, the northern portion of Benguet, the rest of Abra, Ilocos Sur, and the northern portion of La Union, while Signal No. 1 was in effect in Metro Manila, Aurora, Quirino, Nueva Vizcaya, the rest of Benguet, the rest of La Union, Pangasinan, Nueva Ecija, Tarlac, Pampanga, Bulacan, Zambales, Bataan, Rizal, Cavite, Laguna, the northern portion of Batangas, northern and central portions of Quezon including Polillo Islands, Camarines Norte, northern portion of Camarines Sur, and the northern portion of Catanduanes. “Significant to severe impacts from typhoon-force winds may be experienced within the areas under Wind Signal No. 4, while moderate to significant impacts from storm-force winds may be experienced within the areas under Wind Signal No. 3,” PAGASA said. “Minor to moderate impacts from gale-force winds are possible within any of the areas where Wind Signal No. 2 is in effect, while minimal to minor impacts from strong winds are also possible within any of the areas where Wind Signal No.1 is hoisted,” it added.

Heavy rains

 Typhoon Egay and the enhanced southwest monsoon, or “habagat,” are expected to bring heavy to torrential rains over several parts of Luzon in the next few days. PAGASA said torrential rains (more than 200 millimeters) may prevail over the northern portion of Cagayan, including Babuyan Islands, northern portion of Apayao, Abra, Ilocos Norte, and Ilocos Sur. Intense rains (100-200 millimeters) may also persist in Batanes, the rest of Cagayan, the rest of Apayao, western portion of Kalinga, western portion of Mountain Province, western portion of Benguet, and La Union, while heavy rains (500-100 millimeters) may affect the northern portion of Isabela, western portion of Nueva Vizcaya, the rest of Kalinga, the rest of Mountain Province, western portion of Ifugao, the rest of Benguet, Pangasinan, and Zambales. The habagat may also continue to bring light to occasionally heavy rains over the western portions of Central Luzon, Southern Luzon, and Visayas.
