|November 24, 2025
A new low-pressure area (LPA 11b) east of the country is expected to enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) on Sunday, Nov. 23, and has a “medium chance” of developing into a tropical depression within the next 24 hours, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said.
-
PAGASA weather specialist Obet Badrina said the LPA was estimated at 1,130 kilometers east of Southern Mindanao as of 3 a.m. on Sunday.
If it becomes a tropical depression while inside PAR, it will be locally named “Verbena.”
Badrina said the weather disturbance may move generally northwest and bring rains to large parts of Visayas and portions of Southern Luzon from Monday, Nov. 24, to Wednesday, Nov. 26.
