On the morning of April 4, the Southern Regional Hydro-meteorological Station said that there is a low pressure area that is about to strengthen into a tropical depression, and then may strengthen into a storm in the southeast of the Philippines. This low pressure area is located on the equatorial trough (there is disturbance causing rain) and has just moved up after the spring equinox (March 21).

“Also lying on this trench, there is another low-lying area in the East Sea that will strengthen in the near future. This low-lying area is weaker, so it will be pulled out by the low pressure off the coast of the Philippines, less likely to affect water. However, the weather can change rapidly, so it is important to keep an eye on it.

Especially after the low pressure area has just been active, causing rain and wind to the central sea and mainland, ships tending to run to the south to avoid being easily affected by this new low pressure area. It is forecasted that around April 9, this low pressure area will be seen more clearly on the satellite cloud map,” Lan said.

Regarding the unusual rain and wind in April, Ms. Lan explained that because the equatorial trough moves up to meet the warm sea, it will turn into a tropical convergence band (most depressions and storms form on this strip). . This year, this band formed early, so low pressure and early storms occurred.

Forecasting the weather in the South in the coming days, Ms. Lan said that it is still common to have sunny days and rainy evenings. In the next 1-2 days, there will be moderate to heavy rain, rain mainly caused by wind disturbances. This is still the rainy season change, the rainy season really begins when the southwest monsoon operates stably.
