As the Tropical Cyclone Philippines 2025 season begins, a low-pressure area (LPA) has entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) and is being closely monitored by the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA). The LPA, which entered PAR on June 6, 2025, has a medium chance of intensifying into the country’s first tropical cyclone of the year.
If the LPA strengthens into a tropical depression, it will be given the local name Auring. Currently, the system is located 480 kilometers east of Eastern Visayas and is expected to cause widespread weather disruptions across the Philippine Islands in the coming days.
Weather Impact Across the Philippines
The trough or extension of the LPA is already affecting several regions in the country. As of Friday morning, scattered rain showers and thunderstorms have been observed in areas such as Bicol, Eastern Visayas, Central Visayas, Caraga, Northern Mindanao, and the Davao Region. PAGASA warns that these conditions will worsen over the weekend as the potential tropical cyclone moves closer to the islands.
As the LPA nears, affected provinces can expect more severe rainfall, particularly over the weekend. PAGASA has released an updated rainfall outlook for Saturday, June 7 and Sunday, June 8, urging residents to take precautions.
Rainfall Forecast:
- Saturday, June 7:
- Moderate to heavy rain (50-100 millimeters) expected in:
- Catanduanes
- Albay
- Sorsogon
- Northern Samar
- Moderate to heavy rain (50-100 millimeters) expected in:
- Sunday, June 8:
- Moderate to heavy rain (50-100 millimeters) expected in:
- Catanduanes
- Camarines Norte
- Camarines Sur
- Moderate to heavy rain (50-100 millimeters) expected in:
These heavy rains could lead to flash floods, landslides, and damaged infrastructure, especially in low-lying and mountainous areas.
Safety Precautions and Warnings
PAGASA has issued warnings for possible floods and landslides in the affected provinces. The public is urged to stay vigilant, particularly those in areas prone to flooding and landslides. It is also important to keep an eye on local government advisories and PAGASA updates for real-time weather information and evacuation instructions.
Disaster preparedness is key in minimizing risks. Ensure that homes and properties are safe, and take necessary measures to secure valuables and sensitive items. Community evacuation centers are being set up in affected areas, and residents should follow instructions from local authorities.
How to Prepare for a Tropical Cyclone
While this LPA may or may not develop into a tropical depression, it’s essential for everyone in affected regions to prepare. Here are some steps to stay safe during the rainy season:
- Stay Informed: Always monitor PAGASA updates and weather forecasts via official channels such as radio, TV, and online sources.
- Prepare Emergency Kits: Stock up on essentials like water, food, flashlights, batteries, and important documents in case of power outages or evacuation.
- Secure Your Property: If you live in flood-prone or landslide-prone areas, take steps to secure your home, such as reinforcing windows and doors and elevating important belongings.
- Evacuation Plans: Know the nearest evacuation centers and routes in case you need to leave your home quickly.
The Road Ahead: Monitoring the Situation
PAGASA will continue to monitor the LPA and provide updates on its development. If the LPA intensifies, it may soon be upgraded to a tropical depression, and the local name Auring will be assigned. The system’s movement over the weekend will be critical in determining its strength and trajectory, so it’s important to remain prepared.
The Tropical Cyclone Philippines 2025 season is now underway, and it’s essential to be ready for what may come. Whether or not the LPA becomes a full-fledged tropical depression, its impact on weather conditions and local communities is already being felt. Stay safe, stay informed, and be prepared for any eventualities.
