No Direct Threat From Tropical Depression Fabian
Importantly, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) confirmed that no tropical cyclone wind signals have been raised in connection with Fabian. Experts noted that this weather disturbance is unlikely to cause any significant impact on the country’s weather during the forecast period.
“Fabian is forecast to move generally west northwestward for the entire forecast period and exit the Philippine area of responsibility tonight,” the agency stated. Furthermore, Fabian is expected to weaken into a remnant low as it moves out of the PAR.

This tropical depression is the sixth cyclone to develop within the Philippine boundary this year. Despite the ongoing storm activity, local authorities and weather experts emphasize that Fabian poses minimal risk to the country’s weather systems at this time.
As Fabian departs, residents and officials remain vigilant but reassured by the timely forecasts and advisories provided by meteorological services. Continuous monitoring will ensure preparedness for any changes in weather patterns.
