A tropical depression was found at more than 1000 kilometers away in the East of Mindanao.
TROPICAL DEPRESSION – A tropical depression has been spotted outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) more than 1000 kilometers away east of Mindanao.
According to the report of the ABS-CBN News, a tropical depression loomed on the east of Mindanao at 1,540 kilometers away, 10 A.M this morning.
Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said that the tropical depression has sustained winds of 45 kilometer per hour (kph) and blasts up as to 60 kilometer per hour.
Moving in the direction on West Northwest, the tropical depression is expected to enter the PAR either by late Monday or early Tuesday.
As soon as it will reach the inside of the area of the Philippines, it will be called ‘Dante’, Pagasa said as it was mentioned in the report.
‘Dante’ will be the fourth cyclone to take place in the country for this year if ever it turns to a cyclone.
And based upon the report of the Inquirer Net, prior to the new cyclone, ‘Crising’, a tropical depression as well had also developed in the east of Visayas last April 14.
Crising had brought heavy rains in the eastern and central parts of the Visayas Region and showered moderate rainfalls on the southern part of the Luzon and Northern of Mindanao during the weekend of that week.
Crising turned into a low pressure last April 15 and was able to made a land fall in the eastern part of Samar Region and caused at least 9 dead people leaving the Cebu under state of calamity.
Due to the upcoming disturbance that is said to dampen the dry season, everyone is advised to at least be prepared most especially to the people of the areas concerned in order to prevent deaths and any untoward incidents that may happen.
