The low pressure area outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) developed into a tropical depression at 8 a.m. on September 26, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) reported on Thursday morning.
In its weather bulletin at 11:00 a.m. on September 26 (local time), PAGASA said the tropical depression outside PAR was detected about 2,615 km east of Central Luzon.
PAGASA also said it is monitoring two other low pressure areas that could potentially form into tropical storms: one located about 800 kilometers east of northernmost Luzon and the second about 1,436 kilometers east of Eastern Visayas.
Given these developments, PAGASA recommends that residents and visitors monitor changes and weather updates to proactively adjust activities and travel schedules if necessary.
