The low pressure area is not expected to affect any part of the Philippines, while the southwest monsoon is still bringing scattered rain to four provinces on Tuesday, June 24
MANILA, Philippines – The low pressure area (LPA) being monitored by the weather bureau already had a high chance of developing into a tropical depression as of Tuesday afternoon, June 24, but it will soon leave the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR).
The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said the LPA was last spotted 445 kilometers west of Dagupan City, Pangasinan, at 3 pm on Tuesday.
PAGASA Weather Specialist Rhea Torres explained that the LPA may become a tropical depression either before or after its exit from PAR.
Regardless of where the potential tropical cyclone develops, it is not expected to affect any part of the country, added Torres.

The southwest monsoon or habagat, however, is still affecting the western part of Central Luzon and Southern Luzon.
Scattered rain and thunderstorms caused by the southwest monsoon will persist in the provinces of Bataan, Zambales, Palawan, and Occidental Mindoro for the rest of Tuesday.
Flash floods and landslides remain possible.
Other areas in the country have generally fair weather, but there could be isolated rain due to localized thunderstorms.
So far, the country has had one tropical cyclone in 2025 — the short-lived Tropical Depression Auring in the second week of June.
The weather bureau earlier said one or two tropical cyclones are expected to form within or enter PAR in June. For the next six months, or from June to November, there could be 11 to 19 tropical cyclones. – Rappler.com
