Low Pressure Area Outside PAR Develops Into Tropical Depression
The low pressure area outside the Philippine area of responsibility (PAR) has intensified into a tropical depression, local weather sources said. This development marks a significant shift in weather patterns, as the system was previously just a low pressure area designated 08b.
According to meteorological specialists, the tropical depression was last detected roughly 2,730 kilometers east of Northern Luzon. It currently moves northward at a speed of 10 kilometers per hour, carrying winds reaching up to 55 kilometers per hour, with gusts peaking at 70 kilometers per hour.
Potential Impact and Movement
Experts noted that this tropical depression is not expected to have significant effects on the country at present. However, there remains a possibility that it could shift westward toward the Philippine Sea, potentially entering the Philippine area of responsibility in the coming days.
Should it enter the PAR while still classified as a tropical cyclone, it will be assigned the local name Fabian. Residents and authorities are advised to monitor updates closely as the storm’s path evolves.
Preparedness and Monitoring
Local officials emphasize the importance of staying informed through official forecasts and warnings. Although the current threat level remains low, the dynamic nature of tropical systems means conditions can change rapidly.
