A low pressure area (LPA) is likely to develop inside the Philippine area of responsibility in the coming days, which may evolve into a new tropical depression that will be named ‘Julian.’
According to PAGASA weather forecaster Veronica Torres, the LPA is forecast to develop east of extreme Northern Luzon.
“If it becomes a tropical depression, it is possible to move northwest to the Japan area,” she said, adding it is expected to bring scattered rains and gusty winds over Batanes and Babuyan Islands.
Meanwhile, warm easterlies from the Pacific will continue to affect Southern Luzon and the Visayas regions in the next five days.
Fair weather is expected in many parts of the country with possible isolated rain showers, especially in the afternoon due to thunderstorms.
As of 4:00 PM on Wednesday, PAGASA said the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) was affecting weather conditions in Visayas, Mindanao, and Palawan.
