Weather Today – July 2, 2017 | Hello July! What’s with the new weather disturbance?

At 2 AM today, the Low Pressure Area that was being monitored has developed into Tropical Depression Emong. It was last spotted at 765 kilometers east of Tuguegarao City, Cagayan.
In an interview with Panahon TV, PAGASA Weather Forecaster Samuel Duran said there is a possibility that it will intensify into a Tropical Storm; but because Emong is forecast to move northwest, it has a slim chance of making landfall. He advised the public to keep monitoring updates because upon its movement, it may bring rains in some parts of Eastern Luzon. It is expected to exit the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) on Tuesday.

A Low Pressure Area, which is associated with a bad weather condition, is where a Tropical Depression forms. If this hits landmass, it may bring light to occasionally heavy rains that may trigger flashfloods and landslides. Know more about this weather system by watching this video:
