Two new low pressure systems are forming consecutively in the Indian Ocean, while the weakening low pressure system from Typhoon Hagupit is approaching the mainland Philippines.

According to storm news, the latest low pressure from the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC), two new low pressures have formed in the Indian Ocean.

The first low pressure is coded Invest 92B, currently operating in the Bay of Bengal area. The strongest wind near the center of the low pressure reaches 30 km/h. JTWC forecasts that this low pressure is unlikely to strengthen into a tropical depression or storm in the next 24 hours.

Meanwhile, the second low pressure bearing the symbol nvest 94S is currently operating in the Southwest Indian Ocean. The strongest wind near the center of the low pressure reaches 45 km/h, gusting up to 50 km/h.

This system is also forecast to have a low probability of developing into a tropical depression or storm in the next 24 hours.

Because it is still quite far away, the two low pressures have not affected the adjacent mainland areas.

On the other hand, the weakening low pressure from Typhoon Hagupit is moving deeper into the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR).

As of 3 pm today (local time), the center of the low pressure was located at about 14.0 degrees North latitude - 129.3 degrees East longitude, located about 555 km east of Virac, Catanduanes province. The low pressure is unlikely to strengthen into a tropical depression, but is still being monitored to assess developments in the near future.
