At 11 a.m. EDT (1500 UTC) on September 25, 2015 the center of Tropical Storm Dujuan was located near latitude 20.1 North, longitude 131.0 East. That’s about 444 nautical miles (510 miles/822.3 km) south-southeast of Kadena Air Base, Okinawa, Japan.
It was forecast to move west-northwest toward Taiwan at 15 kph.
Jenny is not expected to have a direct effect on any part of country.
Jenny, the 10th tropical cyclone to enter the country this year and the first weather disturbance this month, is expected to dump moderate to heavy rains within its 600-km diameter, PAGASA said.
PAGASA said cloudy skies with light to moderate rains and isolated thunderstorms will be experienced over Mimaropa, the Visayas, Mindanao and the provinces of Cavite and Batangas. It, however, intensifies the southwest monsoon or habagat affecting Southern Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.
Fishing boat operators and fishermen have been advised against travelling on northern seaboard of Northern Luzon and the eastern seaboard of Luzon and Visayas and the seaboards of the Caraga region.
