All wind signals lifted as 'Egay' moves farther away from PH
The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) on Thursday, July 27 lifted all tropical cyclone wind signals as typhoon Egay (international name: Doksuri) continued to move farther away from the country.
In its 11 p.m. bulletin, PAGASA said the center of Egay was last located 315 kilometers west-northwest of Itbayat, Batanes, or outside the Philippine area of responsibility.
It has maintained its maximum sustained winds of 150 kilometers per hour (kph) near the center and gusts of up to 185 kph, while moving northward at 15 kph.

Severe winds associated with typhoon Egay may no longer affect the country, but the enhanced southwest monsoon, or “habagat,” may continue to bring gusty conditions over Luzon and Western Visayas on Friday, July 28, and over Zambales, Bataan, Cavite, Romblon, Antique, and Kalayaan Islands on Saturday, July 29. PAGASA said the habagat may also continue to bring occasional rains to western Luzon 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.
