Typhoon “Hanna” left the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) on Monday morning (Sept. 4) but another low-pressure area (LPA) that was spotted 925 kilometers (km) east of extreme North Luzon developed into a tropical depression on Tuesday (Sept. 5)
According to the latest bulletin of the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa), Tropical depression “Ineng” is not directly affecting the country although it is slightly enhancing the Southwest Monsoon.
The enhanced monsoon will continue to bring gusty conditions over Batanes, Ilocos Provinces, the western portion of Pangasinan, Zambales, Bataan, Kalayaan Islands, Lubang Island, and Romblon.
“Ineng” forecasts to leave PAR by Tuesday evening or Wednesday morning. FREEPORT INSIDER
