The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration said Signal No. 1 was still up over Batanes, Ilocos Norte, northern portion of Apayao, and northwestern portion of Cagayan.
“Minimal to minor impacts from strong winds are possible within any of the areas where Wind Signal No.1 is hoisted. The wind signals warn the public of the general wind threat over an area due to the tropical cyclone,” it said in its bulletin. Egay maintained its status as a typhoon despite steadily weakening, with maximum sustained winds of 150 kph near the center and gusts of up to 185 kph.PAGASA warned that heavy rains may persist in Batanes, Babuyan Islands, and the northern portion of Ilocos Norte over the next 24 hours due to Egay.
Meanwhile, the southwest monsoon, or “habagat,” enhanced by typhoon Egay may also continue to bring occasional rains to the western parts of Northern Luzon and Central Luzon, as well as Southern Luzon, including Metro Manila, 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.
