Typhoon JENNY has intensified further as it continues to move northwestward over the Philippine Sea.
The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said that as of 10:00 AM, the center of Typhoon JENNY's eye was estimated to be approximately 600 kilometers east of Calayan, Cagayan, at coordinates 19.3°N and 127.2°E.
The typhoon currently has maximum sustained winds of 140 kilometers per hour near its center, with gusts reaching up to 170 kilometers per hour. The central pressure stands at 965 hPa.
JENNY is presently moving northwestward at a speed of 15 kilometers per hour, and its reach is extensive, with strong to typhoon-force winds extending outward up to 560 kilometers from its center.
Tropical Cyclone Wind Signals (TCWS) have been raised in several areas across Luzon. TCWS No. 1 is currently in effect.
Areas under TCWS No. 1 includes Batanes, Cagayan (including the Babuyan Islands), the northern and eastern portions of Isabela, Apayao, and the northern portion of Ilocos Norte. JENNY's influence is also expected to enhance the Southwest Monsoon, bringing occasional to monsoon rains over the western portions of Central Luzon, Southern Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao over the next three days.
PAGASA's forecast predicts that JENNY will continue on a northwestward track until Wednesday October 4,2023, after which it may turn west-northwestward or westward.
The typhoon is expected to make landfall over the southern portion of Taiwan on Thursday October 5,2023, morning, eventually exiting the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) over the Taiwan Strait between Thursday evening and Friday early morning. While the possibility of a landfall or close approach over the Batanes area remains, it is decreasing.
