Tropical Depression Neneng has weakened into a Low Pressure Area (LPA) and exited the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR), PAGASA reported Thursday afternoon, August 20, 2026.
In its final tropical cyclone bulletin issued at 5:00 PM, PAGASA said the former Neneng was already an LPA as of 4:00 PM.
The center of the LPA was estimated at 480 km north of Itbayat, Batanes, with a central pressure of 1004 hPa.
The weather disturbance was almost stationary.
No Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal is currently hoisted in the Philippines.
Although Neneng has weakened and exited PAR, the Southwest Monsoon or Habagat continues to affect the country.
PAGASA said Habagat will bring strong to gale-force gusts over most of Luzon and Visayas, Davao Region, Northern Mindanao, and Zamboanga del Norte from today until Saturday, August 22.
Strong winds may be more pronounced in coastal and upland areas exposed to winds.
Rough sea conditions are also expected over parts of Northern and Western Luzon.
Waves may reach up to 4 meters along the western seaboards of Batanes and the Babuyan Islands and up to 3.5 meters over the seaboards of Ilocos Norte and the remaining seaboards of Batanes.
Waves of up to 3 meters are forecast over the seaboards of Ilocos Sur and Zambales, the western seaboard of Pangasinan, and the northwestern seaboard of the Kalayaan Islands.
Meanwhile, waves of up to 2.5 meters may affect the seaboards of La Union and Lubang Islands and portions of Pangasinan, Batangas, and Bataan.
Mariners of motorbancas and similarly sized vessels are advised to take precautionary measures and, if possible, avoid navigating under these conditions.
The remnant low is forecast to generally move northward toward the East China Sea.
However, PAGASA said environmental conditions may become favorable for development. Because of this, the possibility that the system could redevelop into a tropical depression in the coming days cannot be ruled out.
Unless redevelopment occurs, PAGASA said this is its final tropical cyclone bulletin for the weather disturbance.
Despite Neneng’s weakening and exit from PAR, the public is advised to continue monitoring weather advisories, particularly those associated with the Southwest Monsoon.
