Meanwhile, offshore, according to meteorological experts, a low-pressure area has formed on the tropical convergence zone in central Philippines and is moving towards the East Sea, with the potential to develop into a new tropical depression.

Due to the impact of this tropical depression, the weather in the East Sea is expected to remain bad next week. Additionally, on the mainland, rain and strong wind will return to the North, lasting continuously for 4-5 days. In the South and Central Highlands, thunderstorms are forecast to persist until the end of the week due to strong Southwest winds. As the tropical depression moves in and intensifies, the Southwest winds will strengthen further.
