A low pressure area positioned off the coast of Palawan is expected to weaken as it continues its westward trajectory across the West Philippine Sea, according to the state weather bureau's latest assessment released Friday. The weather disturbance, classified as 09e, was tracked over the coastal waters of Dumaran, Palawan, and showed signs of moving away from the archipelago's western region. The agency indicated that the system's drift away from land will bring relief to communities currently experiencing heavy rainfall and adverse weather conditions. Residents in affected areas are advised to monitor further updates as meteorologists continue tracking the system's movement. The Philippine weather service said to expect gradual improvement in conditions as the low pressure area distances itself from Philippine territory over the coming days.
