Typhoon Egay retained its strength as it made its second landfall over Dalupiri Island in Aparri, Cagayan according to Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration on Wednesday, 26 July.
Egay made its first landfall over Fuga Island in Aparri, Cagayan earlier today.
Pagasa weather specialist Loriedin De La Cruz-Galicia said in the state weather bureau’s 11:00 a.m. advisory said Egay is currently affecting most parts of Northern Luzon while a low-pressure area has been found in the eastern Northeastern portion of Mindanao outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility.
“‘Yung natitirang bahagi ng Central Luzon at Southern Luzon ay nakakaranas pa rin po ng mga pag-ulan na dulot naman ng outer rain bands ni Typhoon Egay at maging ng Southwest Monsoon o habagat,” De La Cruz-Galicia said.
Meanwhile, De La Cruz-Galicia said that since the LPA is still far away, its development is still uncertain.
Egay is highly likely to exit PAR within 24 to 48 hours according to Pagasa.
