According to storm news, the latest low pressure from the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA), a new low pressure has formed near the East Sea.
As of 8 am this morning (local time), the center of the low pressure was located at about 12.8 degrees North latitude - 139.6 degrees East longitude, about 1,545 km east of the Eastern Visayas region.
The strongest wind near the center of the low pressure reached 35 km/h. The low pressure is forecast by PAGASA to have a moderate possibility of developing into a tropical depression or storm in the next 24 hours.
Because it is still quite far from the mainland, the low pressure has not caused much impact on the adjacent mainland areas.
