According to storm news, the latest low pressure from the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC), two new low pressures have just formed in the Pacific Ocean.
The first low pressure, coded Invest 95W, is currently located in the North Pacific region. The strongest wind near the center of the low pressure reaches 30 km/h.
The low pressure is forecast to have little chance of developing into a tropical depression or storm in the next 24 hours.
The second low pressure area, coded Invest 94E, is currently located in the eastern Pacific region. The low pressure area moves quickly in a West direction over waters with lower temperatures, so the possibility of further development is not high.
JTWC forecasts that the low pressure has a 10% chance of developing into a tropical depression or tropical storm in the next 2 days, and a 10% chance of developing in the next 7 days.
Due to the influence of the low pressure, the Central and East Pacific regions have continuous thunderstorms and rain, affecting the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula.

While Typhoon Mekkhala has weakened to tropical storm level, moving south of Japan, Typhoon Higos is strengthening with winds of 75 km/h. The storm is forecast to reach a maximum of 85 km/h in the next 24 hours before entering a phase of gradual weakening.
