The state weather bureau is tracking a tropical depression that may enter the Philippine area of responsibility (PAR) on Wednesday.
The weather disturbance was last seen 2,400 kilometers east of Luzon, weather forecaster Aldczar Aurelio of the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said.
Once it enters PAR, it will be locally named “Jenny.”
Aurelio could not immediately say how the tropical cyclone would affect the country in the coming days.
Meanwhile, an intertropical convergence zone—a breeding ground for potential cyclones—is affecting the Visayas and Mindanao.
