MANILA – Typhoon Jenny steadily intensifies and enhances the southwest monsoon or "habagat", the weather bureau said Monday afternoon.
Jenny now packs maximum sustained winds of 155 kilometers per hour (kph) near the center and gustiness of up to 190 kph. It was last located 485 km east of Basco, Batanes.
Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal No. 1 remains hoisted over Batanes, Cagayan including Babuyan Islands, northern and eastern portion of Isabela (Maconacon, Divilacan, Palanan, Santa Maria, San Pablo, Tumauini, Cabagan, Ilagan City, San Mariano, Santo Tomas, Dinapigue, Benito Soliven, Naguilian, Gamu, Quirino, Delfin Albano, Quezon, Mallig), Apayao, northern and central portion of Ilocos Norte (Carasi, Vintar, Burgos, Dumalneg, Bangui, Pagudpud, Adams, Nueva Era, Pasuquin, Bacarra, Laoag City, San Nicolas, Sarrat, Piddig, Dingras, Solsona, Marcos), northeastern portion of Abra (Tineg, Lacub, Malibcong) and the northern portion of Kalinga (Balbalan, Pinukpuk, Rizal, City of Tabuk).
Strong winds prevail in these areas.
Gusty condition is still likely to be experienced in Mimaropa, Western Visayas and Bicol Region for the next three days due to enhanced habagat, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said.
The enhanced habagat will also cause occasional to monsoon rains over the western portions of Central and Southern Luzon, the Visayas and Mindanao in the next three days.
Moderate to rough seas continue to prevail over the coastal waters of Isabela.
PAGASA advised mariners of motor bancas and similarly-sized vessels to take precautionary measures while venturing the sea.
Meanwhile, Jenny is expected to reach peak intensity on Tuesday.
The typhoon could possibly exit the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) and make landfall over the southern portion of Taiwan on Thursday, PAGASA said. (PNA)
