The two tropical cyclones outside the Philippine boundary are slowly moving away from the country, the state weather bureau said midday Friday.

Tropical storm Meari, located at 1,780 kilometers east of Central Luzon, was moving northeast slowly, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said.

Another tropical depression, located at 2,225 kilometers east of extreme Northern Luzon, was moving northeast.

“These tropical cyclones are outside the Philippine area of responsibility, slowly moving away from PAR and have no direct effect in any parts of our country,” Pagasa said.
