โข INDAY is forecast to move generally west northwestward over the next 24 hours. It will then turn northwestward while remaining over the Philippine Sea and may be nearest to Extreme Northern Luzon by Friday (10 July) before heading towards the southern islands of Japan and the sea north of Taiwan. INDAY is forecast to exit the PAR by Saturday (11 July) and make landfall over the eastern coast of mainland China by Sunday (12 July).
โข INDAY will maintain its strength as a super typhoon until tomorrow (09 July), and will downgrade into a typhoon by tomorrow evening. Afterwards, it will gradually weaken. Nevertheless, it will likely remain a typhoon throughout the remaining forecast period.
Considering these developments, the public and disaster risk reduction and management offices concerned are advised to take all necessary measures to protect life and property. Persons living in areas identified to be highly or very highly susceptible to these hazards are advised to follow evacuation and other instructions from local officials.
