The latest storm and low pressure information on the afternoon of October 14 from the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said that cloudy skies and scattered rain will continue in some areas in Luzon because the low pressure area of 10f is within the Philippine Forecast Area (PAR).
The weather forecast bulletin at 4:00 p.m. on October 14 of the Philippine Meteorological Agency said that the areas affected by the activity of this low pressure near the East Sea are Metro Manila, Calabarzon, Isabela, Aurora, Pampanga, Nueva Ecija, Bulacan, Bataan and Camarines Norte.
The new low pressure formed inside the PAR on the morning of October 14. Currently, low pressure 10f is 130km southeast of Baler, Aurora.
PAGASA forecasters said that this low pressure near the East Sea is unlikely to develop into a tropical depression within the next 24 hours.
Meanwhile, the easterly winds will bring cloudy skies, accompanied by scattered showers or thunderstorms in the Visayas, Mimaropa and the rest of the Bicol region.
Similar weather is expected in Mindanao and other areas across the Philippines due to localized thunderstorms.
PAGASA warned that these weather conditions could cause flash floods and landslides.
Northern Luzon will experience cloudy skies with scattered light rains from the northeasterly wind flow, but there will be no significant impact.
In addition to the low pressure near the East Sea, forecasters are monitoring another low pressure outside the PAR - 10e. The low pressure is forecast to strengthen into a moderate storm.
Low pressure area 10e is expected to enter the East Sea, becoming storm No. 12. Currently, the outlet of Typhoon No. 12 is 1,770km east of northeast Mindanao.
Philippine typhoon forecasters say 10e could enter PAR with tropical depression intensity on October 17 and will be locally named Ramil.
Ramil will be the 18th typhoon this year in the Philippines and the third in October.
Regarding its path, Ramil may also head north of Luzon this weekend or Taiwan (China) early next week.
People are advised to continue to monitor updated information about this storm as the forecast is still subject to change, especially in the context of many unstable current situations.
