TS Domeng unlikely to directly affect PH

MANILA, May 29 ------ Tropical Storm (TS) Jangmi entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) early Friday and was given the local name Domeng. It is packing maximum sustained winds of 75 km. per hour (kph) near the center, and gustiness of up to 90 kph.

The TS was located 1,345 km. east of southeastern Luzon, moving northwestward at 20 kph. No wind signal is hoisted on any part of the country. The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said Domeng is less likely to directly affect the country's weather condition in the next 24 hours.

Domeng, however, enhances the southwesterly windflow, which is forecast to bring heavy rains over the western portion of the country beginning Sunday. The enhanced southwesterly windflow will also cause strong to gale-force gusts over many parts of the country beginning Saturday, PAGASA said.
