MANILA, Philippines — Typhoon Egay (international name: Doksuri) made a second landfall on Dalupiri Island in Aparri, Cagayan, at around 10 a.m. on Wednesday, the state weather bureau reported.
Based on its 11 a.m. weather bulletin, Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said Egay maintains its strength while moving southwestward at 15 kilometers per hour (kph).
The typhoon carries maximum sustained winds of 175 kph near the center and gustiness of up to 240 kph.
Pagasa said Egay “may exhibit trochoidal or wobbling motion while in the vicinity of the Babuyan Islands” within the next six hours before generally turning northwestward or north-northwestward.
“The southwest monsoon (habagat) enhanced by Egay will continue to bring occasional monsoon rains over the western portions of Central Luzon, Southern Luzon, and Visayas in the next three days,” the state weather bureau noted.
The typhoon’s first landfall occurred in Fuga Island and Aparri at 3:10 a.m.
It is expected to weaken by the weekend and leave the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) on Thursday morning.
It will head towards Fujian, China, by Friday morning after crossing the Taiwan Strait.
