According to storm news, the latest low pressure from the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC), low pressure Invest 93S is strengthening over the Indian Ocean.
As of the morning of May 8, the center of the low pressure was located in the Southwest Indian Ocean. The strongest wind near the center of the low pressure reached 45 km/h. The low pressure is forecast to have a low probability of developing into a tropical depression in the next 24 hours.
Meanwhile, Typhoon Hagupit is currently about 374 km east-southeast of Yap and has moved in a West-Northwest direction at a speed of about 15 km/h in the past 6 hours. The maximum sea wave is about 4.6 m high.
It is forecasted that in the near future, Hagupit will continue to move in a West-Northwest direction under the impact of a subtropical high pressure in the Northeast. The storm's intensity may strengthen to about 75 km/h in the next 12 hours. However, the system still has to be affected by middle-level faulty winds and dry air intrusion, making it difficult to maintain strong intensity for a long time.
According to forecasts, Typhoon Hagupit will continue to enter sea areas with unfavorable conditions, starting to weaken significantly after about 3 days and is likely to dissipate at sea after about 5 days.
Not far away, the low pressure bearing the symbol Invest 95W is currently operating in the Western Pacific region. The strongest wind near the center of the low pressure reaches 30 km/h. This low pressure is unlikely to develop into a tropical depression in the next 24 hours.
