Typhoon Emong nears landfall over western Pangasinan — PAGASA

Published Jul 24, 2025 08:37 pm
Typhoon Emong (international name: Co-may) is expected to make landfall or pass very close to the western portion of Pangasinan within the next three hours, said the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) in its 8 p.m. bulletin on Thursday, July 24.
In its latest bulletin, PAGASA said the center of the eye of the typhoon was located 105 kilometers northwest of Iba, Zambales, and continued moving slowly eastward.
Emong has maintained its maximum sustained winds of 120 kilometers per hour (kph) near the center and gusts of up to 150 kph.
Following its approach or landfall in Pangasinan, the typhoon may also make landfall over La Union or Ilocos Sur late Thursday evening or early Friday morning, July 25.
It will cross the mountainous terrain of Northern Luzon and emerge over the Babuyan Channel by Friday morning or noon.
Afterward, Emong will track northeastward, pass close to or directly over the Babuyan Islands between Friday noon and afternoon, and may approach Batanes later in the day.
In its intensity forecast, PAGASA said Emong may briefly intensify before landfall due to its compact circulation and favorable environmental conditions.
While it may likely make landfall as a typhoon, a slight weakening prior to landfall due to increasing interaction with the terrain of northwestern Luzon is not ruled out.
Nevertheless, PAGASA said the passage of Emong will trigger a weakening trend, which is expected to continue for the rest of the forecast period.
