Minimal to minor impacts from strong winds are possible within any of the areas under Wind Signal No. 1 while the highest Wind Signal that may be hoisted throughout Inday’s passage is Wind Signal No. 2 or 3.

The enhanced Southwest Monsoon and the periphery of Super Typhoon Inday will bring strong to gale-force gusts over the following areas, especially in coastal and upland areas exposed to winds: Pangasinan, Zambales, Bataan, CALABARZON, most of MIMAROPA, Bicol Region, most of Visayas, and most of Mindanao.

A Gale Warning will be issued today over the northern and eastern seaboards of Luzon and Visayas.

Track and Intensity Outlook

Super Typhoon Inday has entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) and is forecast to move generally westward over the next 24 hours and will then turn northwestward while remaining over the Philippine Sea and may be nearest to Extreme Northern Luzon by Friday July 10, 2026 before heading towards the southern islands of Japan and the sea north of Taiwan.

Inday is forecast to exit the PAR by Saturday, July 11 and make landfall over the eastern coast of mainland China by Sunday, July 12.

"Inday will maintain its strength as a super typhoon until tomorrow (09 July), and will downgrade into a typhoon by tomorrow afternoon or evening. Afterwards, it will gradually weaken. Nevertheless, it will likely remain a typhoon throughout the remaining forecast period," PAGASA reported. — BAP, GMA News
