Typhoon Egay maintains its strength as it moves away from the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR), the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said.
According to PAGASA's Tropical Cyclone Bullettin issued at 11:00 a m. today, July 27, the center of the typhoon's eye was estimated at 255 km West of Itbayat, Batanes, positioned outside PAR at coordinates 20.9 °N and 119.4 °E.
It continues to move in a North Northwestward direction at a speed of 15 km/h.
Despite being outside PAR, Typhoon Egay is still expected to influence the weather in certain regions.
The Southwest Monsoon, amplified by the presence of Egay, will bring occasional to monsoon rains over the western portions of Central Luzon and Southern Luzon for the next three days.
The affected areas include Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, La Union, Batanes, and Babuyan Islands, which are anticipated to experience rainfall of 50-100 mm.
Residents in the following areas not under any Wind Signal should remain vigilant, especially in coastal and upland/mountainous regions exposed to winds.
Today, Luzon and Western Visayas will experience gusty conditions, followed by Batanes, Ilocos Region, Zambales, Bataan, Cavite, the southern portion of Quezon, MIMAROPA, Bicol Region, and Western Visayas tomorrow, July 28.
On Saturday, July 29, Zambales, Bataan, Cavite, Romblon, Antique, and Kalayaan Islands will be affected by the enhanced Southwest Monsoon.
