'Egay' keeps strength; Signal No. 4 remains over parts of Cagayan, Apayao, Ilocos Norte

Published Jul 26, 2023 07:08 am
Tropical cyclone wind signal No. 4 was still in effect on Wednesday afternoon, July 26 as typhoon Egay (international name: Doksuri) maintained its strength while over the coastal waters of Calayan, Cagayan, said the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA). In its 2 p.m. bulletin, PAGASA said Egay maintained its maximum sustained winds of 175 kilometers per hour (kph) near the center and gusts of up to 240 kph. “Violent and life-threatening conditions are expected to continue over Babuyan Islands, the northwestern portion of mainland Cagayan, and the northern portions of Apayao and Ilocos Norte in the next six hours,” PAGASA warned. Egay’s movement may remain unstable, as it continues to exhibit a “trochoidal or wobbling motion” while in the vicinity of the Babuyan Islands, it added. (PAGASA)

Wind threat

 Signal No. 4 was still up over the northern portion of Cagayan, including the Babuyan Islands, the northern portion of Apayao, and the northern portion of Ilocos Norte because of continuous strong winds. Signal No. 3 was in effect over Batanes, the rest of Cagayan, the rest of Apayao, the northern portion of Kalinga, the northern portion of Abra, the rest of Ilocos Norte, and the northern portion of Ilocos Sur. Meanwhile, Isabela, the rest of Kalinga, Mountain Province, Ifugao, Benguet, the rest of Abra, the rest of Ilocos Sur, La Union, and the northern and western portions of Pangasinan remain under Signal No. 2. Signal No. 1 was also maintained over Metro Manila, Aurora, Quirino, Nueva Vizcaya, the rest of 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

 PAGASA said Egay may continue to bring heavy to torrential rains over parts of Luzon. In the next 24 hours, torrential rains (over 200 millimeters) may persist in the northwestern portion of Cagayan, including Babuyan Islands, and Ilocos Norte. Meanwhile, intense rains (100-200 millimeters) may continue over Batanes, Ilocos Sur, the rest of Cagayan, Apayao, and Abra. Heavy rains (50-100 millimeters) may also prevail over Zambales, the rest of Cordillera Administrative Region, and the rest of Ilocos Region. Moreover, the southwest monsoon, or “habagat,” enhanced by Egay, may continue to bring occasional rains over the western portions of Central Luzon, Southern Luzon, and Visayas in the next three days. “Under these conditions, flooding and rain-induced landslides are possible, especially in areas that are highly or very highly susceptible to these hazards as identified in hazard maps and in localities that experienced considerable amounts of rainfall for the past several days,” PAGASA warned. Egay made landfall over Fuga Island in Aparri, Cagayan and in Dalupiri Island in Calayan, Cagayan at 3:10 a.m. and 9:30 a.m., respectively, on Wednesday. If it continues to move northwestward at 10 kph Egay will be outside the country’s area of responsibility by Thursday morning, July 27.
