According to storm news, the latest low pressure from the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA), a low pressure is strengthening near the East Sea.
As of 8 am this morning (local time), the center of the low pressure area coded LPA 05e (Invest 99W) is located at about 8.4 degrees North latitude - 138.8 degrees East longitude, about 1,370 km east of the eastern region of Northeast Mindanao. The low pressure area is moving westward, towards the East Sea.
The strongest wind near the center of the low pressure reached 35 km/h. PAGASA forecasts that the low pressure is highly likely to strengthen into a tropical depression.
Because it is still far from the mainland, this low pressure area only causes thunderstorms and big waves at sea, and does not significantly affect the adjacent mainland areas.
