He said Monday that the monitored low-pressure area (LPA) has developed into a tropical depression named “Carina”.
Rojas said that the LPA has developed into a storm at 2 a.m. on the eastern side of Cagayan.
“In 48 hours o Wednesday, si Carina ay hihina na, magda-downgrade from tropical depression to low-pressure at nasa layong 265 kilometers hilaga ng Basco, Batanes,” he said.
Carina is the third tropical depression in the country within this year. It was recently located at 315 kilometers, east of Tuguegarao City, Cagayan.
