MANILA, Philippines — A tropical depression outside the Philippine area of responsibility (PAR) is being monitored but is not expected to enter the country’s territory, the state weather bureau said Tuesday.

The tropical depression was last spotted 2,570 kilometers east of extreme Northern Luzon, according to Aldczar Aurelio, weather specialist at the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa).

The weather disturbance has maximum sustained winds of 45 kilometers per hour (kph) and gustiness of 55 kph, and is currently slowly moving north-northeast.

“Kapag napanatili ang pagkilos ng tropical depression, malabo na itong pumasok sa PAR. Napakalayo nitong tropical depression at hindi nakakaapekto sa ating panahon,” Aurelio said in a weather forecast issued at 4 a.m.

(If the tropical depression maintains its movement, it may not enter PAR. It is far from the country’s landmass so it is not affecting our weather condition.)

Meanwhile, the southwest monsoon or habagat is expected to bring cloudy skies with scattered rainshowers and thunderstorms in Occidental Mindoro, Palawan, Western Visayas, Zamboanga Peninsula, Basilan, and Sulu.
