Typhoon "Jenny," is wreaking havoc in the northernmost regions of the Philippines as it continues its westward trajectory.
The latest update from the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) at 3:00 PM today October 5, 2023 placed the center of the typhoon approximately 240 kilometers northwest of Itbayat, Batanes.
According to PAGASA, Typhoon "Jenny" has maximum sustained winds of 140 kilometers per hour near its center, with gusts reaching up to 170 kilometers per hour. The storm is moving at a relatively slow pace of 15 kilometers per hour. These conditions have prompted storm warnings and advisories across several regions in the Philippines.
In Batanes, where the typhoon is closest to, residents are experiencing stormy weather conditions. PAGASA warns of possible flooding and landslides due to moderate to heavy rains. Strong winds also pose a minor to moderate threat to lives and properties in the area.
The effects of Typhoon "Jenny" are not limited to Batanes. The nearby Babuyan Islands, Apayao, and Ilocos Norte are experiencing rains with gusty winds, leading to potential flooding and landslides. However, the threat to lives and properties in these regions is considered minimal to minor.
In the rest of Cagayan Valley, Cordillera Administrative Region, and Ilocos Region, cloudy skies with scattered rainshowers and thunderstorms are expected. This is due to the trough of Typhoon "Jenny," and it may result in flash floods or landslides due to moderate to heavy rains.
Metro Manila, Central Luzon, CALABARZON, and MIMAROPA are also affected by the southwest monsoon. Cloudy skies with scattered rainshowers and thunderstorms prevail, with the possibility of flash floods or landslides due to moderate to heavy rains.
For the rest of the country, partly cloudy to cloudy skies are anticipated, with isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms. The main culprits here are the southwest monsoon and localized thunderstorms, which may bring about flash floods or landslides during severe weather conditions.
As Typhoon "Jenny" continues its course, PAGASA advises residents in affected areas to stay vigilant and take necessary precautions. Coastal communities are warned of possible storm surges, and small sea vessels are advised to remain docked. Residents living in flood-prone and landslide-prone areas are urged to be on high alert and follow local government directives for evacuation if necessary.
