A low‑pressure area is expected to enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility as early as Tuesday, with a high likelihood of developing into a tropical depression.
The disturbance last sat 1,525 kilometres east of Eastern Visayas and was forecast to have a high probability of intensification within 24 hours.
Officials predict the system could enter the area between Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday morning.
Once the low‑pressure area becomes a tropical depression, it will receive the local name Kiyapo, marking the country’s 11th tropical cyclone for 2026.
No track forecast or wind‑signal status has been issued yet, and residents are urged to stay informed about the developing weather event.
