Sunrise was at 5:38 a.m. while sunset will be at 6:27 p.m. Weather disturbances outside PAR Meanwhile, PAGASA is monitoring three weather disturbances outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR). A low pressure area, formerly known as Dante when it was inside PAR, was estimated to be located at 2 a.m. at 690 km north northwest of Itbayat, Batanes. "Maliit ang tsansa nito na lumakas at inaasahang malulusaw na ito sa mga susunod na oras," DOST-PAGASA weather specialist Obet Badrina said in the bureau's 5 a.m. public weather forecast. (It has a small chance of intensifying and is expected to dissipate in the next few hours.) Tropical Depression Co-May, formerly known as Emong when it was inside PAR, was located at 3 a.m. at 875 km northeast of Extreme Northern Luzon. It was packing maximum sustained winds of 45 km/h near the center and with gustiness of up to 55 km/h. Co-May is almost stationary. "Inaasahang malulusaw na ito sa mga susunod na araw (This is expected to dissipate in the next few days)," Badrina said. Typhoon Krosa, meanwhile, is also being monitored by PAGASA even if it is outside PAR. At 3 a.m., Krosa was estimated to be located at 2,480 km east of Extreme Northern Luzon, having maximum sustained winds of 120 km/h near the center, with gustiness of up to 150 km/h. Krosa was moving north northeastward at 20 km/h. "Hindi natin inaasahang papasok ito ng PAR. Tuluyan itong lalayo sa ating bansa," Badrina said. (We are not expecting Krosa to enter PAR. It will continue to move farther away from our country.) Badrina said no LPA is inside PAR today. "Medyo maliit ang tsansa na magkaroon tayo ng bagyo sa mga susunod na araw," he added. (The chance of having a tropical depression in the country in the next few days is small.) —KG, GMA Integrated News
