‘Jenny’ roaring away from PH; Signal No. 1 in Batanes

Typhoon “Jenny” (international name: Dujuan) intensified as it continued to move away from the country, the state weather bureau said on late Sunday morning.

In its 11 a.m. bulletin, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said Jenny packed maximum sustained winds of 175 kilometers per hour (kph) near the center and gusts of up to 210 kph.

As of 10 a.m., the typhoon was 590 km east northeast of Itbayat, Batanes.

Public Storm Warning Signal No. 1 was hoisted over Batanes province.

Moving at 15 kph in a west northwest direction, Jenny is expected to exit the Philippine area of responsibility by Wednesday morning.

Pagasa advised fishermen not to venture into the northern seaboard of Northern Luzon and eastern seaboard of Luzon, Visayas and seaboards of Cagayan.

Meanwhile, Luzon and Western Visayas are expected to experience light to moderate rain on Sunday due to the southwest monsoon.
