Three tropical depressions are being monitored within and outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR), as the southwest monsoon brings intense rains over Luzon, according to the state weather bureau on Wednesday.
The lone storm within PAR, Tropical Depression Neneng, was located 675 kilometers east of Itbayat, Batanes, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said in its 5:00 a.m. press briefing.
It has maximum sustained winds of 55 kilometers per hour (kph) and gustiness of up to 70 kph.
PAGASA said Neneng is not expected to cause any direct effects in the country as it is projected to move toward and make landfall in Taiwan by Friday.
