According to the latest storm information from the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) of the US Air Force and Navy, a convective area (named INVEST 91W) was detected near Legazpi City, moving to the east of Luzon Island, Philippines.
Infrared satellite imagery shows a slowly developing low pressure system with strong convection to the north over the past 12 hours. Winds were recorded at around 17 mph (27.78 km/h) north and weaker, below 11 mph (18.52 km/h) south.
Environmental conditions were assessed as favorable for the development of low pressure, with low to moderate wind shear of about 28-37 km/h, weak outflow at upper levels and warm sea surface temperatures (about 30°C).
However, current forecast models indicate that the likelihood of developing into a significant tropical storm in the next 24-48 hours remains low and unlikely to impact Vietnam.
Meteorologists have advised residents and local authorities in the Philippines and neighboring areas to closely monitor the development of this weather system, although it is not currently considered a serious threat.
Given the above weather conditions, tourists planning to visit the Philippines or currently in the Philippines, especially in the Legazpi area and surrounding areas, should regularly update weather information from official sources.
Consider changing your travel plans if weather conditions worsen. Pay special attention to outdoor activities and beach trips.
Keep in touch with the Vietnamese embassy or consulate in your home country, save emergency phone numbers to receive support if needed.
If there are any warnings or instructions from local authorities, they should be strictly followed to ensure safety.
