From Pagasa website
The low pressure area off extreme Northern Luzon has intensified into a tropical depression, the state weather bureau said on Friday.
“Florita” was last spotted 945 kilometers east of Basco, Batanes packing a maximum sustained winds of 45 kilometers per hour (kph) near the center and gustiness of up to 60 kph, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said.
It moved at 11 kph northwest, it added.
Due to this, the extreme Northern Luzon area woulld experience occasional rain this weekend since the tropical depression will enhance the southwest monsoon.
Pagasa, however, said Florita is not likely to make landfall. /kga
