A low pressure area (LPA) in the West Philippine Sea, about 250 kilometers west of Dagupan City, Pangasinan, has a moderate chance of developing into a tropical cyclone within 24 hours, according to PAGASA.

However, it could also dissipate as early as evening on Wednesday, August 27, 2025, or Thursday, August 28.

“Yung isa naman na nandito sa malapit sa Dagupan na 230 km east, mahihila rin po ito papunta westward. Pag nag-merge sila, mataas ang posibilidad na maging bagyo ito,” Engr. Jose Estrada, chief meteorological officer of PAGASA-Dagupan Station, said.

The agency said aside from the LPA, the southwest monsoon (habagat) and localized thunderstorms will continue to bring rains across Northern and Central Luzon.

Some provinces are expected to experience heavy downpours, which may trigger floods or landslides.

Fisherfolk were also warned to take precautions at sea.

“Yun dadalawang piraso ng isda kasi malakas ang agos, walang huli,” Arsenio Velasco, a fisherman whose catch has been affected by the unstable weather, said.

Looking ahead, PAGASA forecasts that two to four tropical cyclones may enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) this September 2025, due to a short-lived La Niña expected from September 2025 to October 2025.

“Ang bilis kasing magbago ng weather system natin dito sa Pilipinas, so yung mga bagyong yun ay tumubo lang dito sa PAR natin,” Estrada added.
