Tropical Depression Neneng is expected to move outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility on August 20, 2026. No Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal is in effect, but the Southwest Monsoon may continue to bring rain and strong winds to several parts of the country.
Tropical Depression Neneng is moving over the coastal waters east of Taiwan and is expected to leave the Philippine Area of Responsibility.
According to PAGASA, the center of Neneng was estimated at 390 kilometers north of Itbayat, Batanes.
It has maximum sustained winds of 45 kilometers per hour near the center and gustiness of up to 55 kilometers per hour. The tropical depression is moving west-northwestward at 30 kilometers per hour.
Neneng may continue moving over the waters off the eastern coast of Taiwan or make landfall over the northern portion of the island.
By 2:00 PM on August 20, the tropical depression is forecast to be around 500 kilometers north of Itbayat, Batanes, or over the coastal waters of Keelung City, Taiwan. It is expected to be outside PAR by then.
PAGASA said Neneng may weaken into a remnant low within the next 12 hours. This means it may lose its organized circulation and no longer be classified as a tropical cyclone.
Although Neneng remains far from the Philippine landmass, its circulation has been enhancing the Southwest Monsoon or Habagat.
This means that rain and strong winds may still be experienced in parts of the country even though Neneng is moving away and no Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal is in effect. These conditions are associated with the Habagat and are not direct effects of the tropical depression.
PAGASA said the Southwest Monsoon may bring strong to gale-force gusts, particularly in coastal and upland areas, over the following locations:
Most of Luzon and the Visayas, Zamboanga Peninsula, Northern Mindanao, and the Davao Region.
Most of Luzon, Panay Island, Negros Occidental, Northern Samar, and Davao Oriental.
Most of Luzon and the Visayas, as well as Davao Oriental.
Residents of Baguio City, Benguet, and other upland areas should continue monitoring local weather advisories because exposed locations may experience stronger wind gusts.
No Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal is currently hoisted in any part of the Philippines.
However, the absence of a wind signal does not necessarily mean fair weather. Rain and strong winds associated with the Southwest Monsoon may continue even after Neneng leaves PAR or weakens.
Residents in areas susceptible to flooding, landslides, and other weather-related hazards are advised to remain alert and follow evacuation or safety instructions from local authorities.
The public should continue monitoring heavy rainfall warnings, thunderstorm advisories, and other localized weather information from PAGASA and its Regional Services Divisions.
