Tropical Depression Basyang (Penha) weakened into a low pressure area over the Sulu Sea early on February 7, 2026, and fully dissipated by 8 a.m. This came after five landfalls in Mindanao and the Visayas. Though gone, the shear line and northeast monsoon continue to bring rain to various parts of the country.
Tropical Storm Basyang weakened into a tropical depression as it approached Bohol on Friday, February 6, 2026, according to PAGASA. It continues to bring moderate to intense rain to 24 provinces, raising risks of floods and landslides. A landslide in Cagayan de Oro killed four family members.
