Two low pressure areas (LPA) are being monitored by the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) on Tuesday, June 6, one of which has a “high” probability of developing into a tropical depression within 24 to 48 hours.

According to PAGASA weather specialist Daniel James Villamil, the LPA at 970 kilometers (km) east of Eastern Visayas, or inside the Philippine area of responsibility (PAR), may become a tropical depression.

The next tropical cyclone name on PAGASA’s list is “Chedeng.”

Villamil said this weather disturbance may move northwest toward Northern Luzon before “recurving” eastward or away from the country.

Meanwhile, another LPA was monitored at 910 km west of Northern Luzon or outside the PAR.

Villamil said this LPA has a slim chance of developing into a tropical depression in the coming days.

However, he noted that the weather disturbances were still too far to have any effect on the country as of Tuesday.

In the next 24 hours, the southwest monsoon or “habagat” may bring cloudy weather with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms over Palawan.

Meanwhile, the rest of the country may have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms.

PAGASA advised the public to exercise caution during severe thunderstorms, as these may trigger landslides or flash floods, especially in areas that are vulnerable to these hazards.
