A low pressure area outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility has a medium chance of developing into a tropical depression, the state weather bureau said on Monday.
The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration reported the system was located 1,515 kilometers east of northeastern Mindanao as of 3 a.m. on Monday. It remains far from the Philippine landmass.
The LPA's trough continues to bring scattered rains and thunderstorms to Mindanao and Palawan, including the Kalayaan Islands. The whole Visayas and Occidental Mindoro are expected to see partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms due to localized thunderstorms.
Light to moderate winds and slight to moderate seas are forecast for these areas. In Cebu, temperatures may range from 26 to 33 degrees Celsius, with a heat index reaching 40 degrees Celsius under the extreme caution category.
