The low-pressure area (LPA) east of Luzon will likely develop into a tropical depression on Friday, July 21, and will be named “Egay,” said the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA). READ:
Weather specialist Benison Estareja said the LPA was last seen 950 kilometers east of southeastern Luzon at 3 a.m. on Friday.
Based on the PAGASA’s tropical cyclone threat potential forecast, Estareja said the weather disturbance may remain inside the country’s area of responsibility for the next five to six days.According to Estareja, this weather disturbance could either make landfall in northern Luzon or continue east toward the Japanese southern islands.
Estareja pointed out that a possible intensification into a severe tropical storm or typhoon by Monday or Tuesday, July 24 or 25, is also not ruled out.In the next 24 hours, the strengthening southwest monsoon, or “habagat,” trough or extension of the LPA, and localized thunderstorms will be the dominant weather systems in the country.
