LPA outside PAR still has high chance of becoming tropical depression

The low pressure area (LPA) located outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) still has a high chance to develop into a tropical depression within 24 hours, state weather bureau PAGASA said Friday.

In a 10 a.m. update, PAGASA said the LPA was located 1,960 kilometers east northeast of extreme northern Luzon as of 8 a.m.

"As of 8:00 AM today, 11 July 2025, the Low Pressure Area (07d), outside the PAR, has a HIGH potential of developing into a tropical depression within the next 24 hours," PAGASA said.

Meanwhile, another LPA, which is a remnant of Tropical Cyclone Bising (international name: Danas), remained outside the PAR and is unlikely to redevelop into a tropical depression within the next 24 hours.

PAGASA said in its 24-hour public weather forecast that the southwest monsoon or habagat is expected to affect the country.

Occasional rains are expected over Western Visayas, Negros Island Region, Palawan, and Occidental Mindoro. Flash floods or landslides are possible due to moderate to heavy rains.

Cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms may be experienced in Metro Manila, Mindanao, the rest of Visayas, Batanes, Babuyan Islands, Zambales, Bataan, Cavite, and Batangas. Flash floods or landslides may occur amid moderate to at times heavy rains.

Also, partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms are expected over the rest of Luzon. Flash floods or landslides may happen during severe thunderstorms. — VDV, GMA Integrated News
