The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said it is monitoring two new low pressure areas.
At 8:00 a.m. (local time) on September 15, the first low pressure center was located at about 16.8 degrees north latitude, 126.2 degrees east longitude, within the Philippine forecast area (PAR), 440 km east of Casiguran, Aurora.
Low pressure has a low chance of developing into a storm in the next 24 hours.
The center of the second low pressure area is located at about 12.6 degrees north latitude, 145.4 degrees east longitude, 2,145 km east of Eastern Visayas. This low pressure area has a moderate chance of developing into a storm.
PAGASA's weather forecast bulletin stated that due to the influence of low pressure and southwest monsoon, rains will occur in most areas of the country throughout September 15 and throughout the rest of the week.
PAGASA also issued high wind warnings in several areas, with high waves of up to 3.7 to 4.5 meters expected: Occidental Mindoro, Palawan, Romblon, Western Visayas, Negros Island, Central Visayas, Southern Leyte, Leyte (Matalom, Bato, Hindang, Hilongos, Inopacan), Zamboanga del Norte, Camiguin, Dinagat Island, Surigao del Norte (San Francisco, Malimono, Surigao City).
Previously, tropical storm Ferdie (storm Bebinca) left the PAR forecast area at 2:00 a.m. on September 14, just 8 hours after entering, with the strongest winds near the storm center of 85 km/h and gusts of 105 km/h.
Before entering PAR, Typhoon Bebinca reached severe tropical storm status, but then weakened to a tropical storm on the morning of September 13.
According to the September 15 storm forecast of the China Meteorological Administration, Typhoon Bebinca is expected to make landfall along the coast from Taizhou in Zhejiang to Qidong in Jiangsu (China) from the night of September 15 to the morning of September 16.
In early September, the Philippines also suffered from Typhoon Yagi (known in Vietnam as Typhoon No. 3). Typhoon No. 3 Yagi made landfall on the east coast of Luzon Island in the Philippines on September 2 with winds of 72km/h, then continued to make landfall in Wenchang City in Hainan Province, Xuwen County in Guangdong Province of China, and Quang Ninh and Hai Phong provinces in Vietnam.
