The latest storm and low pressure information from the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said that a low pressure area detected outside the Philippine Forecast Area (PAR) from June 5 could enter the Philippine monitoring area within 24 to 48 hours.
PAGASA weather expert Chenel Dominguez said that the last time the low pressure was 1,255 km east of northeast Mindanao, Philippines.
The low pressure near the East Sea is forecast to affect the weather in the Philippines. This low pressure is expected to intensify the southwest monsoon.
"Currently, the possibility of the low pressure area becoming a storm is still low. But according to satellite imagery, the trough or the expansion of the trough will cause scattered rain, especially in eastern Visayas and Mindanao, Dominguez said.
The low pressure trough is expected to continue affecting the weather in Eastern Samar, Leyte, South Leyte, Dinagat Islands and Surigao del Norte of the Philippines. These areas are forecast to be cloudy with scattered showers.
Meanwhile, the southwest monsoon continues to affect the Luzon area, especially the western area.
According to PAGASA's typhoon forecast, the Philippines is expected to see at least 19 typhoons from June to November 2025.
The Philippine weather agency has previously announced that the rainy season in the country will begin on June 2.
PAGASA is expected to see one to two tropical storms in June, up to three in July, August and November, and up to four tropical storms in September and October.
If the storm does not form, there is a possibility of a low pressure area appearing, causing floods, noted Ana Liza Solis, Head of the PAGASA Climate Forecasting and Monitoring Department.
The climate outlook for the summer of the Northern Hemisphere released at the World Meteorological Organization's Asia Climate Forum (FOCRA II) in May said that the La Nina phenomenon has been replaced by ENSO's neutral conditions ( El Nino - Southern fluctuations), with sea surface temperatures in the equatorial Pacific region, which are lower than average, returning to normal.
Weather experts from the World Meteorological Organization predict that the summer wind will be stronger than usual in both East Asia and South Asia. Temperatures are forecast to be above or close to average in most parts of Asia.
The frequency of tropical storms in the northwest Pacific, including the Philippines, and the East Sea in 2025 is forecast to be approximately average.
