According to storm news, the latest low pressure from the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC), two low pressures are operating strongly near the East Sea.
The first low pressure, coded Invest 92W, is currently operating near Guam Island. The strongest wind near the center of the low pressure reaches 35 km/h, gusting up to 45 km/h.
The low pressure moves in a West-Northwest direction, towards the Philippine area of responsibility.
JTWC forecasts that the low pressure has a moderate possibility of developing strongly into a tropical depression or storm in the next 24 hours.
The second low pressure, coded Invest 93W, is currently operating in the western Pacific region. The strongest wind near the center of the low pressure reaches 30 km/h.
The low pressure is assessed to have a low probability of developing into a tropical depression or storm within the next 24 hours.
Because it is still quite far from the mainland, the two low pressures only cause thunderstorms at sea, not affecting much the adjacent mainland areas.
