LPA enters PAR, likely to become tropical depression
A low pressure area (LPA) entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) at 2 PM on Wednesday, December 3, and was located 1,095 kilometers east of southeastern Luzon.
The LPA has a high chance of developing into Tropical Depression 'Wilma' within 24 hours, becoming the country's 23rd tropical cyclone for 2025 and the first for December.
PAGASA expects one or two tropical cyclones to form within or enter PAR during December.
While the LPA currently has no direct effect on the country, it is forecast to bring significant rains, particularly to Eastern Visayas and Bicol, starting Thursday afternoon, December 4, through Saturday afternoon, December 6.
Affected regions should prepare for possible floods and landslides.
The LPA is forecast to travel westwards and potentially make landfall in Southern Luzon, Visayas, or Mindanao, though its track remains uncertain.
Meanwhile, the northeast monsoon may bring moderate to at times heavy rain to Cagayan Valley and the Cordillera Administrative Region, with isolated light rain to the Ilocos Region and much of Central Luzon on Wednesday evening.
