The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said today (July 24) that typhoon Doksuri has maximum sustained winds of about 140 km/h and gusts of up to 170 km/h.
Typhoon Doksuri, also known as Egay in the Philippines, is moving west at 15 km/h and is forecast to make landfall or pass very close to the northern islands of the Philippines between July 25 and 26.
PAGASA noted that although the latest track shows the storm is still offshore, it does not rule out the possibility of it making landfall in the Manila metropolitan area of about 13 million people.

As Doksuri storm threatens to become a super typhoon, Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has ordered restrictions on activities, including the closure of schools in the Manila metropolitan area from July 24.
The US military's Joint Typhoon Warning Center said Typhoon Doksuri would then head towards China, according to Bloomberg .
Specifically, the storm is expected to be about 90 km from the port city of Kaohsiung in southern Taiwan (China) and Hong Kong (China) on July 26, before heading towards Shanghai - China.
Doksuri could become the first super typhoon to make landfall in Taiwan since 2019, said Chang Cheng Chuan, an expert at the Taiwan Weather Forecast Center. The storm's impact could be felt from today (July 24) and direct impact from July 25 to 26.
The Hong Kong Observatory does not rule out the possibility that Typhoon Doksuri will move towards the eastern coast of Guangdong Province, China.
