Typhoon JENNY is less likely to directly bring heavy rainfall over the country throughout the forecast period.

Furthermore, the effect of the typhoon on the Southwest Monsoon has weakened, although the western section of Luzon may still experience some rain showers State Weather Bureau Pagasa said Friday.

However, the public is advised to refer to the 24-hour Public Weather Forecast and Outlook of Pagasa for weather monitoring purposes.

HAZARDS AFFECTING COASTAL WATERS

Nevertheless, in the next 24 hours, JENNY may still bring moderate to rough seas (1.5 to 3.0 m) over the coastal waters of Batanes, the western portion of Babuyan Islands, Ilocos Norte, and Ilocos Sur. Mariners of motor bancas and similarly-sized vessels are advised to take precautionary measures while venturing out to sea and, if possible, avoid navigating in these conditions, especially if inexperienced or operating ill-equipped vessels.
