The latest typhoon bulletin at noon on May 27 from the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said that at 10 am, the center of Typhoon Jangmi was 1,300km northeast of Mindanao, outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR).
Typhoon Jangmi is currently having maximum sustained winds of 65 km/h near the storm center, gusts up to 80 km/h and central pressure of 1002 hPa.
The latest storm near the Philippines is moving north-northwest at a speed of 10 km/h. Strong winds to strong gusts are spreading up to 380km from the storm center.
Philippine storm forecasters predict that Typhoon Jangmi will move north-northwest until the end of May 28. After that, this system will move northwest across the Philippine Sea before turning north-northwest to north at the weekend. The latest storm will enter the PAR area on the evening of May 28 and will be named Domeng locally.
It is forecasted that Typhoon Jangmi will enter PAR at a strong tropical storm intensity and may reach major typhoon level from 30.5 above the Philippine Sea.
It is expected that Typhoon Jangmi is unlikely to make landfall. However, the outskirts of the typhoon can still cause strong gusts of wind in the northernmost part of Luzon. Moderate to strong rough seas may occur in the northern Luzon waters this weekend.
It is forecast that Typhoon Jangmi will also affect weather developments in the Philippines when it strengthens the southwest monsoon from May 30.
