The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) announced on Tuesday, May 12, 2026, that it is monitoring two low pressure areas (LPAs), but neither is expected to directly affect the country's weather.
Details of the LPAs
One of the LPAs is the former tropical depression Caloy, which remains inside the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR). According to Pagasa weather specialist Veronica Torres, this system is unlikely to redevelop into a tropical cyclone and is not expected to cause any direct weather effects.
The second LPA is located outside PAR, approximately 1,690 kilometers east of northeastern Mindanao as of 2 a.m. on Tuesday. Torres noted that this LPA is also not expected to enter PAR and is unlikely to develop into a tropical cyclone.
General Weather Outlook
Despite the presence of these LPAs, the easterlies will continue to bring generally fair weather across the archipelago. However, isolated rain showers may still occur due to localized thunderstorms.
Pagasa further reported that the entire country will experience light to moderate winds and slight to moderate sea conditions.
