Meanwhile, PAGASA is also monitoring a new Low Pressure Area (LPA) that formed along the eastern boundary of the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) on Sunday evening, July 20. As of 3 AM on Monday, the LPA was located 1,140 kilometers east of southeastern Luzon, still within PAR.

PAGASA Weather Specialist Daniel James Villamil indicated in an early Monday morning briefing that this LPA currently has a low chance of developing into a tropical depression and is expected to move generally northwest and north in the coming days, keeping it far from the Philippine landmass.

The weather bureau had earlier projected that two to three tropical cyclones could develop within or enter PAR in July. So far this month, the country has experienced two significant tropical cyclones: Typhoon Bising (international name: Danas) and Severe Tropical Storm Crising (international name: Wipha).
